Description

When applying options within the **Prepare Installation** menu, the installer applies those changes _immediately_. It seems a bit un-intuitive that the menu is labeled **_Prepare_ Installation** when it is actually executing the installation steps, _especially_ when there is a second menu labelled **Install System**. I had expected it to work similarly to `archinstall` where it prepares the steps in a readable format, shows them to you so you can validate, then executes it all at once.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. First inspect the Prepare Installation and Install System flows, then compare their current execution behavior with the requested review-before-apply sequence. Done means Prepare Installation presents the planned steps without executing them, while Install System performs the validated installation.
