Description

I don't understand what to do next to troubleshoot this problem:

```
$ cat workshop.yaml
name: opencode
base: ubuntu@24.04
sdks:
- name: system
- name: opencode
channel: all/edge
actions:
opencode: opencode "$@"

$ workshop launch
error: systemctl show-environment: Cannot access user instance remotely.
