Start macOS VMs from the CLI without opening a window #43

Description

I’ve confirmed that after restarting the host Mac, VMPal can automatically start a macOS VM in the background without opening its display window.
I’d like to trigger the same behavior on demand from the CLI, without restarting the host. Is there an existing command or option for this? If not, could you add one?

Why this feature/change is important?

Windowless startup already works for macOS VMs after a host restart. Exposing the same behavior through the CLI would let me start a VM in the background whenever needed, without interrupting my work by restarting the host Mac.
