Describe the bug

The maximum number of CPUs that the user can select for an instance in the GUI is limited to 4, even though I have 8 hardware threads available:

(Same when trying to configure existing instances.)

And yet:

$ nproc
8
$ sysctl -n hw.ncpu
8

Additional info

  • OS: macOS 15.1
  • multipass version: 1.15.0-rc4
  • multipass get local.driver: both VirtualBox an QEMU
