- Switch remoteUser to root: in rootless Podman the container root maps
to the host user, eliminating UID/GID conflicts and bind-mount
permission issues
- Remove pinned USER_UID/USER_GID and vscode user setup from Dockerfile;
install podman and socat instead; source /entrypoint.sh from root .bashrc
- Set userEnvProbe: none to avoid VS Code heredoc env-JSON stall
- Establish a matching-paths Podman socket proxy via socat in
ensure-repos.sh (${HOME}/.podman-proxy/podman.sock); bind-mount the
same path into the container and set DOCKER_HOST/CONTAINER_HOST so
act and other nested-container tools work correctly
- Mount host ~/.gnupg to /root/.gnupg and set GNUPGHOME; create
/run/user/0 with 700 permissions for GPG agent sockets
- Mount host ~/.config/gh and set GH_CONFIG_DIR for GitHub CLI access
- Add post-create.sh for one-time container initialization steps
- Update codespace.code-workspace and dev/jules/prepare-environment.sh
