Title
The macOS system must disable Apple Intelligence during Setup Assistant.

Discussion
The prompt for Apple Intelligence setup during Setup Assistant must be disabled. Disabling Apple watches is a necessary step to ensuring the information system retains a session lock until the user reestablishes access using authorized identification and authentication procedures.
