We tell lima to do the forwarding for us (that is, lima sets up the socket directly), via https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/blob/main/src/backend/lima.ts#L695-L707 — you can see this by looking at

~/Library/Application Support/rancher-desktop/lima/0/lima.yaml

(mac) /

~/.local/share/rancher-desktop/lima/0/lima.yaml

(linux).
