Reinstall test on Debian 12 surfaced three rootless-only breakages (rooted
was byte-identical/fine):
1. pasta blocked by Debian's passt AppArmor profile (DENIED ptrace read ->
can't open container netns -> rootless dockerd never starts). Default
CFG_ROOTLESS_NET back to slirp4netns (reliable); pasta stays selectable
for hosts that relax the profile.
2. de-sudo mis-assigned helpers by owner. /docker management layer (apps DB
chowned to libreportal by install_sqlite, /docker/logs) is MANAGER-owned,
not dockerinstall. Add runInstallWrite; move apps-DB sqlite3 -> runInstallOp
and /docker/logs appends -> runInstallWrite. Revert ownership-SETUP scripts
(libreportal_folders, app_folder) to runSystem — they must run as root to
establish ownership during install. Container files (/docker/containers/<app>)
stay runFileOp.
3. kernel hardening sysctls written to /etc/sysctl/99-custom.conf, which
'sysctl --system' does not read -> never applied. Write them to
/etc/sysctl.d/99-libreportal-hardening.conf instead.

FIX: dockerCommandRun rooted path is 'sudo $command' (unquoted word-split),
so 'docker ps --format "{{.Names}}"' was passing the format with LITERAL
quotes -> docker emitted '<name>' and the downstream grep never matched
(broken in rooted too). Switch all docker invocations to runFileOp, which
preserves args via "$@" in both modes (and runs as dockerinstall against
the rootless socket). Fixed monitoring.sh, dashy, tags_processor_network_mode.
Convert: jitsimeet (rm/wget/unzip/mv/sed/tee/gen-passwords on /docker ->
runFileOp/runFileWrite), authelia (config sed/mkdir/chmod/chown/secrets tee
-> runFileOp/runFileWrite; docker exec -> runFileOp docker, preserving
--password), reset_git (cp->/root runSystem, install-dir chown runInstallOp;
kept sudo -u manager). check_update/update_git_check need no change (all
sudo -u manager git, already least-privilege).
