Description
When running a VM with the persistent flag I would expect to see it in the list of running VMs with `hostmgr vm list`.
1. `hostmgr vm start xcode-16.2-macos-14.7.1-v1 --handle cat`
2. `hostmgr vm list`
3. Expect to see `💻 Local | cat | 🟢 Running | 120.03 GB`
Tested version: `0.51.0`

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with `hostmgr vm start xcode-16.2-macos-14.7.1-v1 --handle cat`, followed by `hostmgr vm list`, using version 0.51.0. Trace how persistent VMs are represented by the start and list commands; done means the `cat` VM appears as Local and Running with its storage size.
