Subject: [PATCH] feat: add auto-grow-root service for live disk resize
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds systemd service that automatically grows the root filesystem on boot:
- Detects partition layout and grows partition if needed (growpart)
- Supports both ext4 (resize2fs) and btrfs filesystems
- Works with VIRTIO-SCSI disk (/dev/sda)
- Enables seamless live disk resize from the hosting platform
