Improve CLI server install UX for storage and compute prompts#1699
Conversation
The storage backend and compute provider prompts during `lab server install` were too terse — users didn't have enough context to make informed choices. Storage: add explanation of why the backend matters (keeps jobs, logs, artifacts in sync), describe single-machine vs multi-node vs shared-drive (NFS) scenarios, reorder options to default to local filesystem, and link to docs. Compute: replace the y/n confirmation with a descriptive numbered list that explains each provider, and add a "Skip" option instead of the yes/no gate.
- Change SkyPilot description to "connect to a SkyPilot server" - Remove redundant bullet-point explanations before numbered choices
