launchd auto start support missing?

The colima stuff is working great as a Docker Desktop replacement with one minor exception for me. I've been unable to get it to autostart via launchd. I *think* that it is likely because the "start" command forks the hypervisor and then eventually exits. My understanding is that launchd expects the command to run indefinitely. I took a look at the code, but not conversant enough in Go to figure out how to "fix" this. Is this something that is on the roadmap?
