Thanks again for the Report.
Unfortunately, the Application " CleanMyMac4 " has been installed and used on this computer
All the other issues in the report become very secondary to the importance of the damages CMM4 has been inflicted on this computer

A - Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, is an invitation for disaster.
Certain Applications maybe available on the Apple Apps Store - this only means the Developer is prepared to pay Apple a portion on each sale. What the Application may do to the computer is up to the User to check this out before purchase
Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions
1 - Disk Cleaner
This will include CleanMyMac , aka “ BrickMyMac “
Read some of the posting and arrive at your own conclusions.
A - Specific to CleanMyMac aka “ BrickMyMac “
The steps in #1 below is predicated on the Offending Application has been Removed as per the Developers Specific Instruction
#1 - Some Contributors suggest restarting in Recovery Mode and choosing to Reinstall the Operating System over the existing installation.
This may or may not replace elements of the Entire Operating System including the Home Folder ( User Account ) and replace any corrupted or removed elements of the Operating System and make thing right.
#2 - Then there are Other Contributors ( like myself ) would suggest from this link Use Disk Utility to erase a Mac with Apple silicon.
In process #2 above, the Operating System remains untouched , so Ventura 13.3.1(a) will still be installed.
Thereafter to start from scratch and install all Required Application directly from the Apple Apps Store or Directly from the Developer.
If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate things back as this will probably Re-Introduce the existing issue that existed when the TM Back was made.
