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
Quality gates:

- ruff: clean on changed files
- mypy: clean on changed files
- alembic heads: single head
- Add Alembic migration to update built-in pi-agent manifest:
* repo mount target from /workspace to ~/{{WORKSPACE_NAME}}
* 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
- Update manifest compiler unit tests for the new behavior

Root cause: manifest-based Dockerfile created the home directory and
chowned only the home root. Files/directories copied from /etc/skel by
useradd -m (or created later by root) remained root-owned, so apps like
ranger failed when writing to ~/.config.
Changes:
- manifest_compiler.py: recursive chown of the home directory after
useradd so /etc/skel contents are owned by the container user
- Pre-create .config, .local/share, .cache and chown them to the user
so first-run apps have writable directories immediately
- Add unit test verifying the Dockerfile emits the expected user/home
setup and config directory creation
Quality gates: py_compile all backend files pass, test file compiles,
tsc --noEmit pass, npm run build pass, 82/82 web tests pass
Note: pytest not available in this shell; backend unit test was not
executed but follows existing project conventions.
- Add expand_container_path() helper that resolves ~/ and $HOME/ prefixes
- Add get_manifest_home_dir() to compute /home/{user.name} or /root from manifest
- Set ENV HOME=... and ENV USER=... in generated Dockerfile for runtime compatibility
- Pass home_dir through instance creation and startup pipeline
- Expand mount targets in apply_resolved_profile() for regular profile mounts
- Expand mapping targets in _resolve_git_mount_mappings() for git mounts
- Expand working_directory and volume targets in _modify_compose_file()
- Update _prepare_manifest_instance to return home_dir alongside image tag
- Fetch tool_type early in start_instance to determine home_dir before profile application
Quality gates: pytest 188 passed, frontend typecheck clean
Addresses: home-path-expansion
- Add ToolDefinitionManifest model with base image versioning
- Add manifest compiler: Dockerfile + Compose generation from JSON manifests
- Add permission fixer: post-start chown/chmod for mount policies
- Add tool definition CRUD API with live compile preview endpoint
- Integrate manifest-based startup flow in start_instance
- Add Alembic migration with data conversion for pi-agent
- Add 48 unit tests for manifest compiler, permission fixer, docker service
- Keep backward compatibility with legacy dockerfile_template/compose_template
Migration: applied successfully. Pi-agent converted to manifest.
Quality gates: pytest (146 passed, 4 pre-existing unrelated failures)
