Research direction

Start in def start(self, **kwargs: Any) -> sp.Popen and inspect the condition involving self.is_running, poll_url(host, port, status_url_path, timeout_ms), and timeout_ms. Reproduce the Appium startup failure on macOS with Python 3.7, then verify that the corrected condition allows startup within the configured timeout.
