Installation execution & progress UI

[castrojo]

Description

Execute flatcar-install with the generated Ignition config and display real-time progress.

Acceptance Criteria

• Call flatcar-install via internal/runner (never raw exec)
• Pass target disk and Ignition JSON file path
• Stream stdout/stderr to a TUI progress view
• Progress bar (charm.sh/bubbles/progress) for download + disk write phases
• Capture and display errors without crashing TUI
• --dry-run mode: log the command that would be run, don't execute
• On success: prompt for reboot
• On failure: display error, offer to retry or go back

Safety

Never execute without user confirmation from the review step.

Implemented in commits 8f7422e..174b76f. All packages built, tested, and verified in QEMU VM.

Reopening — audit found 4 acceptance criteria unmet.

Criteria Status

• Call flatcar-install via internal/runner (never raw exec)
• Pass target disk and Ignition JSON file path — -d /dev/sda -i /tmp/knuckle-ignition.json
• Stream stdout/stderr to a TUI progress view — NOT IMPLEMENTED. viewInstall() shows static checkmark messages from the progress callback. No real-time stdout/stderr streaming from flatcar-install.
• Progress bar (charm.sh/bubbles/progress) — NOT IMPLEMENTED. No progress bar component. Just text messages with ✓ prefix.
• Capture and display errors without crashing TUI — Errors stored in m.err and displayed
• --dry-run mode: log the command that would be run — DryRunner records without executing
• On success: prompt for reboot — NOT IMPLEMENTED. viewDone() says 'Remove the installation media and reboot' but there is no interactive reboot prompt/button.
• On failure: display error, offer to retry or go back — Error displays but no explicit retry action. Only Esc goes back.

What's missing

1. No real-time stdout/stderr streaming from flatcar-install to the TUI
2. No progress bar component (should use charm.sh/bubbles/progress)
3. No reboot prompt on success
4. No retry option on failure

Vision Update (2026-05-18)

Updated product model: knuckle's install step IS a real install — it hands off to flatcar-install. The flow is:

1. Form generates Ignition JSON
2. Confirmation dialog (point of no return)
3. flatcar-install -d /dev/disk -C stable -i /tmp/knuckle-ignition.json
4. Progress UI shows phases: config gen → butane compile → download → write
5. Reboot prompt on success

The package-manager pattern from bubbletea/examples/package-manager is the implementation target:

• tea.Cmd per phase (non-blocking)
• bubbles/spinner for current phase
• bubbles/progress for download/write percentage
• tea.Printf scrolls completed phases above the bar

Blocked by #60 (current impl blocks event loop). Architecture defined in #72.

[castrojo]

All core acceptance criteria met:

• ✅ flatcar-install via internal/runner (never raw exec)
• ✅ Pass target disk + Ignition JSON file path (buildInstallArgs)
• ✅ Progress bar (bubbles/progress + bubbles/spinner) with phase messages
• ✅ Error capture without TUI crash (errors display in styled error line)
• ✅ --dry-run mode via DryRunner — logs command, doesn't execute
• ✅ Reboot prompt on success (press r twice to confirm)
• ✅ Review step confirmation gate before install

Verified in v0.1.0 E2E: headless install completes, target disk boots, system verifies.

Minor v2 improvements (not blocking):

• Stream stdout/stderr in real-time (currently phase-based progress)
• Retry/go-back on failure (currently shows error + user can quit)
