The old copy/move helpers ran 'sudo cp/mv X Y; sudo chown $user_name Y' (root +
arbitrary chown). Rework them to write AS the destination's owner — no root, no
chown — classifying by dest path like createTouch: /docker/containers/<app> ->
runFileOp (docker install user), manager-owned control plane -> runInstallOp.
The $user_name arg is now advisory (the path decides). Covers copyFile/copyFiles/
copyFolder/copyFolders/moveFile; copyResource is always containers -> runFileOp;
createFolders' non-container branch -> runInstallOp; updateFileOwnership (an
arbitrary user1:user2 chown) -> runSystem. Confirmed by callers (containers vs
$docker_dir/backup_install_dir/configs dests). Removes a class of root data ops
+ arbitrary-chown from the runtime.

The install/start paths and the switch reconcile managed /docker ownership
separately, so a fresh install produced different ownership than a post-switch
state — the root cause of the rootless 'touch: Permission denied' storm.
Consolidate onto the reconcile model:
- dockerContainerOwner(): single definition of the mode's container owner
(rooted -> manager, rootless -> config-authoritative docker install user).
- reconcileContainersTopOwnership(): owns + makes traversable the structural
containers/ top dir; now also run by the switch reconcile (previously only
the install pass set it, so a rootless->rooted switch left it stale).
- reconcileWebuiDirOwnership(): now uses dockerContainerOwner.
- reconcileDockerOwnership(): calls both helpers.
- fixFolderPermissions(): slimmed to the +x traversal bits; its ad-hoc
containers/ chown is now the shared helper.
- fixPermissionsBeforeStart(): drop changeRootOwnedFilesAndFolders (a
pre-de-sudo band-aid that only fixed root-owned files and ran contrary to
the don't-touch-third-party-data rule); reconcile the WebUI dir via the
shared helper instead. Delete the now-unused root_files_folders.sh and
regenerate the source arrays.
