+    - subject: Start state engine and API binder in parallel
+      hash: b4514631b11c24c58342021e1a5b62add5a8c476
+      body: |
+        The state engine and preloading is performed before the device gets a
+        chance to register, while this is desirable for preloaded apps, it
+        introduces a delay on registration which is known to cause issues since
+        the VPN is also trying to connect at the same time.
+
+        This triggers a simultaneous start of the device engine, the API binder
+        and the supevisor API to avoid delays.
