or maybe detecting such an attempt, copy the profile to a temporary profile,
use it for this headless instance, and remove it. But that could be dangerous -
to copy a profile that is being in use; and also potentially much longer than
creation of a new profile (an existing profile may have installed extensions,
etc.). OTOH if a user runs a command with default profile, it would be
unexpected to perform the command with a clear profile without user
modifications that could affect the result (say, PDF export options).

So I suppose that interrupting the operation could be something to consider
(how much breakage would it be for users?), but not "copy profile" approach.
