Description
In UTM.app, install a fresh copy of macOS 26.3, install Android Studio Panda 1 | 2025.3.1 Patch 1, launch it with standard configuration. That will install an Android SDK in ~/Library/Android/sdk, including platform-tools/adb and emulator/emulator, but it won't add them to your $PATH.
dfabulich@Dans-Virtual-Machine ~ % skip android emulator list
Error: posix_spawn error: No such file or directory (2), `["emulator", "-list-avds"]`
dfabulich@Dans-Virtual-Machine ~ % PATH=$PATH:/Users/dfabulich/Library/Android/sdk/emulator skip android emulator list

Research direction
Start by reproducing skip android emulator list in the fresh macOS and Android Studio setup described, then trace the skip CLI entry point that invokes emulator -list-avds. Done means the command can list the available AVD without manually adding the Android SDK emulator directory to $PATH.
