Michael Chus a57b037a91 feat(installer): add 'Install to disk' in Tools submenu

Copies the live system to a local disk via unsquashfs — no debootstrap,
no network required. Supports UEFI (GPT+EFI) and BIOS (MBR) layouts.

ISO:
- Add squashfs-tools, parted, grub-pc, grub-efi-amd64 to package list
- New overlay script bee-install: partitions, formats, unsquashfs,
  writes fstab, runs grub-install+update-grub in chroot

Go TUI:
- Settings → Tools submenu (Install to disk, Check tools)
- Disk picker screen: lists non-USB, non-boot disks via lsblk
- Confirm screen warns about data loss
- Runs with live progress tail of /tmp/bee-install.log
- platform/install.go: ListInstallDisks, InstallToDisk, findLiveBootDevice

ISO Build

bee ISO is built inside a Debian 12 builder container via iso/builder/build-in-container.sh.

Requirements

Docker Desktop or another Docker-compatible container runtime
Privileged containers enabled
Enough free disk space for builder cache, Debian live-build artifacts, NVIDIA driver cache, and CUDA userspace packages

Build On macOS

From the repository root:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh

The script defaults to linux/amd64 builder containers, so it works on:

Intel Mac
Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4) via Docker Desktop's Linux VM

You do not need to pass --platform manually for normal ISO builds.

Useful Options

Build with explicit SSH keys baked into the ISO:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --authorized-keys ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

Rebuild the builder image:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --rebuild-image

Use a custom cache directory:

sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh --cache-dir /path/to/cache

Notes

The builder image is automatically rebuilt if the local tag exists for the wrong architecture.
The live ISO boots with Debian live-boot toram, so the read-only medium is copied into RAM during boot and the runtime no longer depends on the original USB/BMC virtual media staying present.
Target systems need enough RAM for the full compressed live medium plus normal runtime overhead, or boot may fail before reaching the TUI.
Override the container platform only if you know why:

BEE_BUILDER_PLATFORM=linux/amd64 sh iso/builder/build-in-container.sh

The shipped ISO is still amd64.
Output ISO artifacts are written under dist/.
