Description

Summary

The decision to make the lima config not configurable is bad UX. The vm commands always overwrite the config upon changing, and I can't make my configs portable.

Use case:
My client has a rather bulky wpml x woocommerce site and without virtiofs I can't work on it at all. It would be such a simple line change, but it gets overwritten all the time. The config should just be copied from the trellis folder.

The reason why I'm not pushing for virtiofs is because lima does not deem it stable.

Research direction

Start by tracing the vm commands that overwrite the Lima configuration and identify where the Trellis folder config is copied. Confirm the behavior with the existing CLI checks, if present; done means user-provided Lima settings remain portable and are not overwritten when VM commands run.
