TALagent is part of macOS.


talagent -- helper agent for the Transparent App Lifecycle feature.

 The talagent daemon provides services related to the Transparent App
 Lifecycle feature.  talagent may also be run manually as a command line
 tool to output information about persistent state.


Or rephrased, that’s all part of the file versioning and auto-save support, and the ability to manage running apps when system resources get low.
