Linode provisions and sizes /dev/sda (root) and /dev/sdb (swap) itself
as whole, unpartitioned block devices before the OS ever boots.
modules/disko/linode.nix declares them with destroy = false (skips
Disko's wipe stage for these disks entirely) and a bare filesystem/swap
content type matching that existing layout, so re-running it against an
already-provisioned disk only mkfs/mkswaps if blkid shows it isn't
formatted yet -- never repartitions or destroys data.
With every host reachable through the installer menu now carrying a
Disko config, auto-install.sh no longer needs to probe the flake and
branch between `disko --mode destroy,format,mount` and a bind-mount
fallback -- it just always runs Disko.
