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.
