Research direction

Start by reviewing the installation log at https://paste.rs/8BO7z, focusing on the KDE package download stage after the ext4 partition was wiped and converted to btrfs with five subvolumes. Reproduce the installation with the reported ISO version and configuration if possible; done means identifying the crash cause and confirming the installation completes or fails with a useful diagnostic.
