Description

### I have done the following

- [x] I have searched the existing issues
- [ ] If possible, I've reproduced the issue using the 'main' branch of this project

### Steps to reproduce

`container system start` in an ssh session

### Current behavior

When ssh into the mac, `container system start` returns the following error:

```
Verifying apiserver is running...
Error: internalError: "failed to get a response from apiserver: interrupted: "XPC connection error: Connection invalid""
```

It looks like the GUI is a dependency, which is weird since this framework is supposed to run containers, and in a lot of use cases, people want to do this when using mac as a headless server.

### Expected Behavior

The container should start as normal.

### Environment

```markdown
- OS: 15.3.1 (24D70)
- Xcode: xcode-select version 2409. xcode not installed
- Container: N/A
```

### Code of Conduct

- [x] I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct
