[Bug]: CI Failure: XPC Timeout During `install-kernel` Make Target

[Ronitsabhaya75]

I have done the following

• I have searched the existing issues
• If possible, I've reproduced the issue using the 'main' branch of this project

Steps to reproduce

The failure is intermittent - re-running the same failing CI workflow often succeeds on the second attempt.

Current behavior

Warning! Running debug build. Performance may be degraded.
2026-02-05T00:24:13+0000 info com.apple.container.cli: [ContainerCommands] checking if APIServer is alive
2026-02-05T00:24:13+0000 info com.apple.container.cli: [ContainerCommands] APIServer health check failed, skipping bootout
Warning! Running debug build. Performance may be degraded.
Error: internalError: "failed to get a response from apiserver: internalError: "XPC timeout for request to com.apple.container.apiserver/ping""
Verifying apiserver is running...
make: *** [install-kernel] Error 1

Expected behavior

The install-kernel target should complete successfully without XPC timeout errors when verifying the apiserver is running.

Environment

OS: macOS 26.0 (25A354)
