Expand description

Installs an operating system from an ISO and converts it into a snapshot.

Architectural intent: Automates the multi-step workflow of creating a raw disk, running a QEMU-based installer, and feeding the resulting disk through the standard snapshot creation pipeline.

Constraints: Requires qemu-img and qemu-system-x86_64 to be installed and in $PATH. The disk_size and ram parameters are passed directly to QEMU tooling and must use size suffixes they understand (for example 10G, 4G).

Side effects: Creates and deletes temporary disk images, spawns a full virtual machine for the duration of installation, and writes the final snapshot to output.
