I am experiencing a persistent issue where the Rootless QEMU VM in Stryker 6.0.1 fails to boot on my device. The VM repeatedly times out after 150 seconds or stops unexpectedly, even after the app falls back to the "safe profile." The core chroot functionality (Terminal, Metasploit, Nmap, etc.) works fine, but the VM required for wireless attacks (external Wi-Fi adapter passthrough) never completes boot.
