Issue body
### Bug Description
macOS CI is failing
### To Reproduce
Previously, macOS CI tests were failing due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/2034253
This was recently fixed. Now, the macOS CI tests are failing without providing logs. It's possible that they are running out of storage or another resource.
The next step is to ssh into a runner and try clearing up some disk space. I've been experimenting on https://github.com/canonical/craft-providers/compare/main...macos-debug.
