**Describe the issue**
shared Folder is missing after VM was Paused and Resumed.
trying to remount it in the Guest throws: "special device share does not exist."
Im Unsure if this even is an UTM issue as i havent seen anything that seems related to Directory sharing in UTMs pause() and resume() methods.
Without having any Knowledge about UTMs inner workings (or even swift), i tried to trigger the updateSharedDirectories() in the resume() method in the hope that it would add the Shared Folder again ... without any success :/
**Configuration**
* UTM Version: 4.6.2
* macOS Version: 15.3
* Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): Apple M2
* Apple Virtualization
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing UTM's Apple Virtualization pause() and resume() paths, then inspect where updateSharedDirectories() is called. Reproduce the pause/resume sequence with the reported configuration and confirm that the shared folder remains available or can be remounted afterward.
