Only handle the simple cases. When they don't tell you exactly what they are going to do, well then they are useless because you can't trust them. Gonna touch the gpt ? Gonna create a hybrid mbr? Gonna force me to use CSM? Gonna *touch* any other partition than what I tell you??? hard pass.
And the answer is that both of the comments are wrong. Of course you can read what they are about to do. But of course that is not what OP meant. You want to see it while doing it. Like *proper* logs. Not have tenthousand lines in some verbose yet write-only language on the side.
By the way: Can we ban any program that doesn't do *proper* logging, up to debug log levels, from being on Linux or being called anything related to Linux? (Ditto for things that don's use the Linux file structure and libraries, like containers or Steam. We've completely solved dependency hell in package manager for how long now? [When did portage get version slots?])

But they're open source ! Can't you just read the source and know what they are doing ?
