DevvynandClaude Sonnet 5 ae32daf135 fix(docker): address maintainer review on #377
Two real bugs the review caught, both verified live against a real
build on the Unraid host:

1. entrypoint.sh's chown fired on ANY ownership mismatch, not just a
   directory the daemon itself created root-owned. A host tree
   legitimately owned by some other account - an existing
   CODEMAN_CASES_PATH the README already allows pointing at a normal
   projects directory, or appdata under a different PUID/PGID
   convention than the one in use - got silently recursively re-owned
   with one log line to explain it. Now gated on the target actually
   being root-owned; anything else is a clean refusal naming the
   directory, its owner, and PUID/PGID. Start-Codeman.sh also now
   pre-creates CODEMAN_CASES_PATH the same way it already did
   CODEMAN_APPDATA_PATH, so Compose never has to materialise a missing
   bind source as root in the first place - the in-container chown
   becomes a safety net, not the primary mechanism.

2. The CLI-update chown (chown -R .../node_modules /usr/local/bin)
   handed the runtime account write access to entrypoint.sh itself
   (root-owned, executed as root on every container start with
   CHOWN/DAC_OVERRIDE/SETUID/SETGID) and the node binary - owning the
   DIRECTORY is enough to rename it aside and drop a replacement, which
   would let a compromised session arrange for its own script to run
   as root at the next restart. The four CLIs now install into a
   dedicated /opt/codeman-cli prefix (NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX); only that
   directory is chowned, /usr/local stays root-owned throughout.

Smaller fixes from the same review:

- Start-Codeman.sh's volume-refresh label filter wasn't project-scoped:
  a second Compose stack on the same host sharing the `codeman-dist`
  volume KEY could have had ITS volume deleted. Added a
  com.docker.compose.project filter, resolved from this stack's own
  `compose config --format json`.
- Override-file precedence was backwards (checked .yaml before .yml;
  Compose actually prefers .yml) - swapped, plus a warning when both
  exist.
- entrypoint.sh's setpriv now also passes --bounding-set -all, so
  CapBnd actually clears post-drop rather than just CapPrm/CapEff.
- A comment on git_head_commit() noting it returns nothing for a
  worktree checkout (.git as a file), consistent with the script's
  existing -d .git convention elsewhere.
- Doc drift: CLAUDE.md's Docker Compose section still described the
  old pre-created-and-chowned-by-hand model and didn't mention the
  root-then-drop entrypoint; the state-files list was missing
  docker-build-source.json; docs/docker-compose.md and
  docker/.env.example still had the pre-rename `Coding/codeman` path
  in one place each.

Verified end to end against a real build on the Unraid host: a
root-owned bind source is corrected as before; a directory owned by
neither root nor PUID:PGID is refused rather than silently rewritten;
a correctly-owned directory is left alone entirely; the four CLIs
resolve via PATH from /opt/codeman-cli while /usr/local/bin,
/usr/local/lib/node_modules and entrypoint.sh itself stay root-owned;
CapBnd is fully cleared post-drop.

# Docker Compose deployment
This configuration builds the Codeman application image locally from this checkout. It does not download or depend on a pre-built Codeman image.
For the Compose configuration, environment settings, storage migration, and macvlan networking examples, see the [Docker deployment guide](../docker/README.md).
The image includes Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. Authenticate a CLI from its Codeman session; credentials are never baked into the image.
## Prerequisites
- Docker Engine or Docker Desktop with Docker Compose v2
- A reachable Docker daemon
The application container mounts the Docker daemon socket so Codeman can create and manage its isolated Docker cases. Treat anyone who can administer this Compose project as having Docker-host-equivalent access.
## Start
Copy the environment template, set a strong password, and confirm `CODEMAN_APPDATA_PATH`. The example maps `/mnt/user/appdata/codeman` on the host to `/home/${CODEMAN_RUNTIME_USER}` in the container, preserving Codeman state and CLI credentials outside Docker-managed volumes.
```sh
cp docker/.env.example docker/.env
```
On PowerShell, use the following command instead.
```powershell
Copy-Item docker/.env.example docker/.env
```
On Linux, run the stack with the start script. It determines `PUID` and `PGID` from the owner of `CODEMAN_APPDATA_PATH`, and `DOCKER_SOCKET_GID` from the configured Docker socket, before invoking Compose. A root-owned application-data directory is rejected so the runtime account cannot become UID 0.
```sh
bash docker/Start-Codeman.sh
```
On other platforms, run Compose directly. `PUID` and `PGID` default to `1000:1000`; set them in `docker/.env` when the application-data directory has a different owner.
```sh
docker compose --env-file docker/.env -f docker/docker-compose.yaml up --build -d
```
Open `http://localhost:3000` and sign in with the username and password from `docker/.env`.
## Operations
The local image is tagged `codeman:local` by default. Change `CODEMAN_IMAGE` in `docker/.env` if a different local tag suits your environment.
```sh
docker compose --env-file docker/.env -f docker/docker-compose.yaml logs -f codeman
bash docker/Start-Codeman.sh
docker compose --env-file docker/.env -f docker/docker-compose.yaml down
```
`CODEMAN_APPDATA_PATH` holds Codeman state and survives container recreation. Remove that host directory only when deliberately resetting the installation.
`CODEMAN_CASES_PATH` must be an absolute path on the Docker host. Compose mounts it at the same path inside Codeman, so the host daemon can bind the managed workspace into isolated Docker cases. Do not set it to `/home/${CODEMAN_RUNTIME_USER}/codeman-cases`.
Compose passes `CODEMAN_APPDATA_PATH` into Codeman as `CODEMAN_DOCKER_HOST_HOME`. Codeman uses that value to translate generated Docker seed, credential and hook-secret bind sources from the container's home path into paths visible to the host Docker daemon.
If `docker info` reports `SwapLimit=false`, set `CODEMAN_DOCKER_DISABLE_SWAP_LIMIT=1`. Isolated cases retain their configured memory limit. Codeman omits the unsupported swap-limit option and filters only the daemon's exact swap-capability warning while retaining every other Docker create error.
If that directory was created by an earlier root-running image, change its ownership to the configured `PUID:PGID` before starting this version. This preserves existing CLI credentials and session state while allowing the unprivileged runtime account to use them.
## Updating
Codeman updates itself from **App Settings → Updates**, as it does on a bare host. The checkout mounted at `/opt/codeman` is the same directory Compose builds from, so the update's `git checkout` and rebuild land on the host and survive container recreation; the restart is the server exiting, which `restart: unless-stopped` turns into a relaunch on the new build.
That applies application code only. A release that changes `docker/server.Dockerfile`, `docker/docker-compose.yaml`, or adds a key to `docker/.env.example` needs the image rebuilt or the container recreated, which a container cannot do to itself. The updater detects each case and refuses with a message naming what changed; run `docker/Start-Codeman.sh` on the host to apply those.
`CODEMAN_REPO_PATH` overrides which checkout is mounted. It defaults to the compose project's parent directory, so it normally needs no setting. Point it at a directory that is not a git checkout and in-app updates are reported as unavailable.
Full detail, including the fingerprint baseline and the troubleshooting table: [`docker-self-update.md`](docker-self-update.md).
## Docker cases
The default socket path is `/var/run/docker.sock`, which works with a standard Linux Docker Engine. The Bash start script detects its numeric group ID. When running Compose directly, set `DOCKER_SOCKET_GID`, for example using `stat -c '%g' /var/run/docker.sock`, so the unprivileged `CODEMAN_RUNTIME_USER` account can create Docker cases. Docker Desktop users should set `DOCKER_SOCKET` in `docker/.env` only when their Docker installation exposes a different compatible socket path.
Codeman Docker cases are sibling containers on the host daemon, not children of the application container. The Compose configuration handles their workspace bind mount through `CODEMAN_CASES_PATH`; the `/home/${CODEMAN_RUNTIME_USER}` application-data mapping is for Codeman state and ordinary in-container sessions, not sibling-case workspaces.
