Description
### Description
`limactl version 1.2.1`
`Darwin CHANCEZ-M-2YPG 24.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 24.6.0: Mon Aug 11 21:11:04 PDT 2025; root:xnu-11417.140.69.701.11~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T6031 arm64`
I rebooted and restarted a VM and I got 108 of these log messages while it started:
```
WARN[0108] [hostagent] failed to send inotify error=EOF
```
I do have `mountInotify: true` configured but the log messages being super spammy is a bit non-ideal. That they're EOF also indicates to me these errors should probably be getting caught somewhere.
