Bug description
Using the 3.3.3 prebuilt image on a headless device fails to finish booting, and no AP is created.
I expected the device to be accessible via the AP as described in the "Initial Settings" section.
(Note: it is not possible to capture a debug log if the OS fails to boot.)
Steps to reproduce
Using either Pi imager 1.9.0 (with no custom settings) or balenaEtcher 2.1.0
Flash raspap-bookworm-armhf-lite-3.3.3.img to a 32GB SD card.
Put the SD card into a headless Pi Zero 2 W, no monitor cable, no OTG cable.
Power up, wait 5 mins.
Attach the monitor cable and you can see the startup is stalled at the "Please enter new username" prompt.
I have confirmed this with multiple SD cards and multiple Pi Zero 2 W boards.

Relevant log output
Here's your solution:
Choose this option with Pi imager and try again.
Using that (or custom.toml which also works with balenaEtcher) to set the username does allow the boot to complete, but ...
The AP is active but does not provide any IP addresses.
