Originally assigned to: @benceruleanlu on GitHub.

Summary

The NVIDIA driver (R580) warning currently lives in the main process (InstallationManager) and runs during freshInstall(). We want to move this warning into the frontend install flow so the UI controls when and how it appears.

Motivation

Make the warning placement and UX explicit in the frontend
Avoid backend modal timing confusion
Easier to adjust messaging and trigger conditions

Notes

Current check uses nvidia-smi and minimum version 580
Warning should appear during install flow for NVIDIA-selected device

Acceptance Criteria

Driver warning logic owned by frontend
Backend exposes a simple capability/driver query (or uses existing IPC) as needed
Warning placement clearly in UI flow (e.g., after device selection)
