Reads files the backup user can't see from the host (container-owned, e.g.
Nextcloud's www-data data dir) by streaming them out THROUGH the container
(docker exec tar) — no host root, no host read perms, works rooted + rootless.
Extracts to staging as plain files so restic keeps full dedup + per-file
restore (not a piped tar blob); the live path is excluded from the snapshot.
Restore streams the staging copy back through a throwaway in-namespace
container that recreates the tree with the app's uid:gid.
Declared via a libreportal.backup.files compose label; Nextcloud (html, 33:33)
is the first to use it. Live capture failure falls back to stop-snapshot-start.

Every backup-scope app now carries CFG_<APP>_BACKUP_STRATEGY=auto, so the
Backup Strategy dropdown appears in each app's Advanced tab — not just the
DB apps.
To keep it honest, the 'live' option is hidden where it isn't safe:
- apps.json generator emits backup_live_capable per app (from compose backup
labels: a dumpable DB, or a live-safe marker).
- apps-manager filters the live option out of the strategy select when the
current app isn't live-capable, so apps like gitea/focalboard (a DB we don't
yet dump) never offer it.

The WebUI data snapshots (locations.json, dashboard.json, snapshots_*.json,
etc.) are regenerated on every wizard/config change. Each file emitted two
extra success lines via createTouch — "Touching <file>" and "Updating
<file> with <user> ownership" — which spammed the output around the genuinely
useful "... JSON regenerated" line.
Add an optional "silent" flag to createTouch (third arg; default keeps the
existing loud behaviour for interactive install flows) and pass it from every
WebUI data generator/task. Touch + chown still run; only the logging is
suppressed for these background regenerations.
