Description
Context
PR #67 retires the legacy tui.rs and routes rocm bootstrap setup to the dash onboarding wizard. The legacy interactive setup let users pick the TheRock/ROCm install location (surfaced on the CLI as --prefix PATH). The current dash onboarding wizard has no install-folder picker, so the guided bootstrap setup flow installs to the default location only.
This was deferred, not removed by design — tracked here so it isn't lost.
Scope
- Add an install-location step to the onboarding wizard (
crates/rocm-dash-tui/src/ui/onboarding.rs), feeding the existing--prefixplumbing (install_manager.rsalready threads--prefix, and the chat tool path still supports it). - Decide the default and let the user override it, consistent with the pre-retirement behavior.
Notes
- The Release/Nightly channel toggle — dropped in the same retirement — was already restored separately in #73, so this issue is scoped to the install-folder choice only.
rocm bootstrap setup's non-interactive fallback message was updated in #67 to stop advertising a folder picker; revert/adjust that wording once the picker returns.

Research direction
Start in crates/rocm-dash-tui/src/ui/onboarding.rs and trace how install_manager.rs threads the existing --prefix option; compare with the pre-retirement behavior in tui.rs. Restore a default install location with a user override in the wizard, and adjust the non-interactive fallback wording so it accurately describes the returned picker.
