When the daemon starts and services are registered, launch a background goroutine that boots the Colima VM and recovers stopped service containers. This ensures services come back automatically after a macOS reboot without user intervention. - Runs in background so DNS + FrankenPHP start immediately - Only triggers when Colima is installed AND services exist - Retries once after 10s if Colima fails to start - Logs warnings on failure, daemon keeps running for PHP/DNS
…ervation - Add cancellable context so goroutine stops on daemon shutdown - Use ctx in sleep (select on timer vs ctx.Done) and all Docker calls - Check ctx.Err() between steps to bail early on shutdown - Reload registry inside goroutine instead of sharing stale pointer - Preserve original error in retry message so both are visible - Add descriptive "Starting Colima VM" message on auto-start

Summary
When the pv daemon starts (e.g. after macOS reboot via launchd), it now automatically boots the Colima VM and recovers stopped service containers — so services come back without user intervention.
Before: Daemon starts DNS + FrankenPHP. Colima stays down. Services dead until user runs
pv service:start.After: Daemon starts DNS + FrankenPHP immediately, then boots Colima in the background and recovers containers. Services come up ~15s after daemon start.
Test plan
go test ./...passesgo vet ./...cleanpv service:add redis, restart daemon, verify redis recovers
