- Remove compose-level user: 0:0 override from manifest_compiler.py so the
entrypoint can start as root, fix mount ownership, and drop privileges to
the container user internally.
- Add get_manifest_container_user() helper to resolve the manifest-declared
container user (with uid:gid fallback).
- Pass container user through TerminalSession, TerminalManager, and the
terminal WebSocket handler so docker exec is invoked with --user <user>.
- Update and add unit tests for the manifest compiler and terminal session.
- Record the additional root-user fix in the fix-pi-container-mount-permissions
OpenSpec change/tasks.

Detached containers with tty: true still exited immediately because a
plain /bin/bash invocation exits with code 0 when stdin is not connected.
- Detect when the container CMD is /bin/bash or bash and exec an
interactive login shell () after dropping privileges
- Keep the generic path for non-shell commands
- Bump compiler_version to v4 to force a fresh image build

The container still exited immediately after the su-based fix. can
interfere with TTY/stdin handling for interactive shells. Switch to
, which is root-only, skips PAM, and preserves file descriptors so
bash stays interactive.
Also improve container failure diagnostics:
- now combines stdout and stderr
- This helps surface the real reason when a container exits with code 0

The generated entrypoint used a brittle invocation that could
spawn a non-interactive bash and exit immediately, causing containers to
stop with exit code 0 right after startup.

Working copies were stored as /data/working-copies/{repo_id}/{workspace_name}/,
so git clone was forced into a user-named directory. That meant the container
mount basename was the workspace name (e.g. main) instead of the repo name.
- Generate the workspace UUID before cloning and clone into
/data/working-copies/{workspace_id}/ so git creates {repo_name}/ naturally
- Set workspace.path to /data/working-copies/{workspace_id}/{repo_name}/
- Update _migrate_clone_into_workspace() to use the same layout
- _get_repository_mount_name() now prefers workspace.path basename and only
falls back to remote URL / repo.name for legacy repo-only instances
- Update unit tests to assert workspace path basename is used for mounts

The pi-agent manifest still declared an explicit repo mount with
{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}, making the mount target dependent on tool config. The
instance service now synthesizes the repo mount, so the manifest no longer
needs the explicit mount.
- Add Alembic migration 2026_06_15_090500 to remove the source_type: repo
mount from the built-in pi-agent manifest
- Add _get_repository_mount_name() helper to derive the workspace directory
name from the repository remote URL (matching git clone behavior) and
fall back to the user-provided repository name
- Use the helper for WORKSPACE_NAME/REPO_NAME in manifest, legacy dockerfile,
and legacy compose template paths
- Update unit tests for the new migration and helper

WORKSPACE_NAME was computed from os.path.basename(repo_path), so when a
workspace path ended in a directory like 'main', the container mount target
became /home/user/main instead of /home/user/{repo-name}.
- Use GitRepository.name for WORKSPACE_NAME/REPO_NAME in manifest and
legacy dockerfile flows
- Add unit test verifying prepare_manifest_instance uses repo.name even
when the workspace path basename differs

Older cached images still contain a literal /home/user/{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}
directory baked in by the previous Dockerfile generation. Even though new
images no longer create it, existing images leave the placeholder folder
alongside the real repo-named mount.
- Add entrypoint cleanup that removes /{{WORKSPACE_NAME}} if it
exists before creating the real workspace target and /workspace symlink
- Update unit tests to assert the stale placeholder removal

When a manifest mount target uses ~/{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}, the Dockerfile was
building a literal directory named {{WORKSPACE_NAME}} into the image and
creating a broken /workspace symlink. The runtime mount then created the
correct repo-named folder alongside the placeholder folder.
- Only create static mount target directories in the Dockerfile; skip any
target containing {{WORKSPACE_NAME}}
- Only create the /workspace compatibility symlink at image-build time when
the workspace name is known; otherwise let the entrypoint create it from
the WORKSPACE_NAME environment variable
- Update unit tests to cover both build-time workspace names and runtime
placeholders

The compose file was forcing the container to run as uid 1001, so the
entrypoint could not create /workspace even with sudo configured.
- Remove Dockerfile USER directive so containers start as root
- Make compile_compose use user: 0:0 when the manifest declares a user
- Make the entrypoint drop to the container user via after setup,
preserving environment variables and command arguments
- Update unit tests to assert root startup and privilege drop

The previous ordering checked SUDO before checking if the process was
already running as root. When Docker starts the container with a
non-root user, SUDO may be empty, but the real fix is that the
entrypoint should try root first (e.g. when the image is started as
root) and only then fall back to sudo.
- Reorder symlink creation logic: root first, then sudo, then best-effort
- Update unit test to assert root is checked before sudo

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

- Add Alembic migration to update built-in pi-agent manifest:

* keep /workspace as compatibility symlink via working_dir
* update startup chown target to $HOME/$WORKSPACE_NAME
- Pass REPO_NAME and WORKSPACE_NAME to compile_compose from instance_service
- Substitute {{WORKSPACE_NAME}} in manifest mount targets and expose it as
a container env var so the entrypoint can create the /workspace symlink
- Generate entrypoint workspace symlink from runtime WORKSPACE_NAME env var
- Install npm_global packages into {home_dir}/.npm-global with PATH so the
non-root container user can update global packages

- Switch apply_resolved_profile from per-file bind mounts to one
directory-level bind mount per ResolvedMount target.
- Stage all configured files under instance_dir/mounts/<sanitized_target>
and bind-mount that directory, so Docker no longer creates a root-owned
parent directory such as ~/.config.
- Propagate read-only mode ('ro') as the 'readonly' flag on volume entries.
- Update unit tests to expect directory-level mounts and add coverage for
readonly/writable flags.
