Installer

forinstall (23-step fresh install from the live image) and forupdate (10-step offline upgrade from local media) cover the Forest OS disk lifecycle. Both are privileged multi-file userspace apps with the same ANSI text-UI idiom.

• forinstall: partitioning, formatting (ext2/ext4), ForeB sector writes, fstab / forebo.cfg generation.
• forupdate: manifest, pre-apply backup, and rollback; root required.
