OrbStack 2.2.3: VM exits with "unknown crash" on macOS 15.1.1 (Apple M2) #2690

Description

@cadeYDL

Describe the bug

OrbStack unexpectedly stopped on September 11, 2026. The GUI log records a VM manager exit at 15:20:08 +08:00 (07:20:08 UTC) with reason unknown crash. A diagnostic report was generated immediately afterward at 07:20:21 UTC and is linked below.

reason: unknown crash
raw wait status: 27392 (0x00006B00)
raw flags: 0x86000000
exit detail: none

The trigger is not yet known.

To Reproduce

No deterministic reproduction is available yet. OrbStack was running and subsequently reported the unexpected VM exit described above. The exact workload/action at the time of the crash has not been isolated.

Expected behavior

OrbStack should remain running. If a runtime or storage error requires stopping the VM, it should report an actionable reason rather than an unknown crash.
