Description
Problem you are trying to solve
Currently, when the disk free space is low (still usable, but not enough for the old toolchain and new toolchain to coexist), the update proceeds, then when using up all remaining space, it rolls back.
Solution you'd like
This processed could be enhanced to estimating remaining space a head of time, and failing and prompting user early.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the toolchain update and rollback flow, then identify how available disk space and toolchain sizes can be determined before the update; done means low-space updates fail with a user-facing prompt before consuming the remaining space.
