Research direction

Start by tracing how Multipass identifies and exposes existing Ubuntu instances, including the command-line entry points involved in instance names. Define the user-visible behavior for renaming an existing instance and verify that the renamed instance can still be addressed consistently; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
