  • GRUB: supports both UEFI and BIOS installs
• More robust handling of device names such as NVMe (/dev/nvme0n1pX) during mounting.
• Clearer live logging throughout install sections and better debug messages.

Breaking changes

• None.

Known limitations

• Advanced storage layouts (LVM/RAID, complex Btrfs subvolumes) are not yet implemented in the automatic partitioner.
