fix: use sudo/root to create /workspace symlink in manifest entrypoint

The previous commit moved the pi-agent repo mount from /workspace to
/home/user/{repo_name}. This exposed a permission bug: the Dockerfile
creates /workspace as a root-owned symlink in the image, and the
non-root entrypoint could not replace it because / is owned by root.

- Update compile_entrypoint to recreate /workspace via sudo when running
  as the container user, or directly when running as root
- Add unit test covering sudo/root symlink creation
- Update OpenSpec change docs with the additional root cause

2. `manifest_compiler.py` does not substitute the instance-specific `{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}` placeholder in explicit mount targets, and `instance_service.py` does not pass `WORKSPACE_NAME`/`REPO_NAME` to `compile_compose` for manifest-based tools.
3. The generated entrypoint hardcodes the literal string `{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}` as the symlink target.
4. `npm_global` packages are installed with `RUN npm install -g ...` as root into the system npm prefix, so the non-root container user cannot update them.
5. Once the repo mount moves out of `/workspace`, the generated `/workspace` compatibility symlink is created in the image as root. The non-root entrypoint cannot replace it (write permission is required on `/`), so container startup fails.

- Pass `WORKSPACE_NAME` as a container environment variable.
- Generate the entrypoint symlink from the runtime `WORKSPACE_NAME` environment variable.
- Install `npm_global` packages into a user-writable prefix (`{home_dir}/.npm-global`) and add it to `PATH`.
- Use `sudo` or root to create the `/workspace` compatibility symlink, because `/` is owned by root and the non-root entrypoint cannot replace a root-owned symlink.

4. Update unit tests for the new behavior.
