Description

currently, ctlptl uses Docker Desktop as the primary VM manager on Windows/macos.

Research direction

Start by tracing ctlptl's existing Docker Desktop VM-manager integration on Windows and macOS, then determine how Rancher Desktop should fit the same flow. Done means Rancher Desktop can be used as the VM manager on both platforms, with the relevant behavior covered by tests.
