scan_files used 'sudo find' to enumerate config files to source. Under the
scoped sudoers that's denied, so NO configs got sourced -> CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_TYPE
ended up empty -> runFileOp/runFileWrite fell back to the manager branch and
every container-path write failed. Root cause of the 'sudo: a password is
required' + 'tee: Permission denied' storm when running under the scoped grant.
- configs/ scan (manager-owned): plain find
- app_configs scan (/docker/containers, docker-install-owned, not list-readable
by the manager): runFileOp find (enumerate as that user; manager still sources
each .config, which is o+r). 'containers' install templates stay plain find.

Model A prototype (run start.sh AS the manager, escalate only via helpers):
- check_root.sh: accept the manager user, not root-only (init.sh keeps its own
install-time root check).
- init.sh: guard the top-level root-check + installer entrypoint with
BASH_SOURCE!=$0 so it runs ONLY when init.sh is executed directly; when
start.sh sources it as the manager the entrypoint (and its root check) no
longer fires.
Also: convert bare daemon-touching 'docker' calls (no helper -> hit the
nonexistent /var/run socket in rootless) to runFileOp docker across
app_status, app_health_*, network_prune, ip_is_available, check_docker_network,
backup_db (db dumps) and crontab_check_processor. cd&&compose rooted-branches
and 'docker compose --version' checks left as-is (rooted-only / no daemon).

Foundation for a scoped sudoers: route every genuine system-admin command
(systemctl/ufw/ufw-docker/nft/apt/apt-get/pacman/sysctl/useradd/usermod/
service/wg/wg-quick/cscli/loginctl) through runSystem instead of raw sudo
across 28 active scripts. runSystem is 'sudo "$@"' so this is byte-identical
in every mode (safe on live installs) — it just collects all real-root use at
one chokepoint that will define the eventual /etc/sudoers.d allowlist.
Also: revert a crowdsec advice message the sweep wrongly rewrote (the admin
types sudo, not runSystem), and give crontab_check_processor.sh the same
startup bootstrap as the task processor — it runs standalone via cron and
already used runFileOp/runFileWrite (undefined there), so it was silently
broken; now it sources the helpers + docker-type config.

Three docker calls ran the binary directly (two plain, one sudo), so in
rootless they hit /var/run/docker.sock (the rooted socket, absent) and
printed 'Cannot connect to the Docker daemon' — the WebUI-image requirement
check, the system-disk WebUI generator (docker system df), and the
app-install fallback (docker ps). Route all three through runFileOp, which in
rootless runs as the docker install user with DOCKER_HOST set and is
argv-safe for --format, and in rooted runs as the manager via the docker
group.

The old inbound-admin-SSH layer was effectively dead: gated on config flags
that don't exist (CFG_SSHKEY_*_ENABLED, CFG_REQUIREMENT_SSHREMOTE), its
authorized_keys installer was unwired, and its download path (sshdownload
container) was already retired. What remained reachable was either a no-op or
a lockout footgun (disable-passwords with no working key install).
Remove it whole: scripts/ssh/*, the four SSH requirement checks, the SSH tools
menu, the dead webui SSH populater, and the unused ssh DB inserts; drop their
calls from the start/requirements/menu flows. A fresh, WebUI-driven admin SSH
access feature replaces it next.
Also make generate_arrays.sh self-healing: prune files_*.sh whose source
folder no longer exists (cleared the now-stale files_ssh.sh + an orphan
files_api.sh) so removed areas don't linger in the sourced set.

WebUI-driven commands (`setup finalize`, `backup`, restore) ran with an
empty $docker_install_user because cliInitialize only called
checkInstallTypeRequirement for the `app` category. The backup engine then
ran `sudo -E -u "" restic init`, which sudo rejects with a usage dump —
surfacing as "Failed to initialize Local disk" in the setup wizard.
Factor the user resolution out of checkInstallTypeRequirement into a
side-effect-free resolveDockerInstallUser (rooted -> sudo_user_name,
rootless -> CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER, with fallbacks so it is never empty)
and call it at the cliInitialize chokepoint so all command categories get a
valid install user, not just app.
