What's Wrong?
The Cowork tab never initializes. The log shows:
"yukonSilver not supported (status=unsupported), checking for stale bundle..."
The VM never attempts to start. No vm_bundles folder is created.
What Should Happen?
Cowork should detect that all virtualization prerequisites are met and successfully initialize the VM workspace.
