Move the WebUI-updater settings out of general_terminal into their own
advanced webui-category file (webui_logs precedent): new
configs/webui/webui_updater holds CFG_UPDATER_SCAN_INTERVAL and the
migrated CFG_HOTFIX_AUTO, listed in webui/.category.
The move only reaches existing installs if the config convergence
machinery works, and three pieces of it silently didn't:
- checkConfigFilesMissingFiles walked a stale hardcoded category list
('general features network' — features doesn't exist; webui/backup/
security never healed). Derive the categories from the template tree
instead, and heal .category metadata too: copy it when absent and
merge missing SUBCATEGORY_ORDER entries when present, so healed files
actually appear in the WebUI Config editor. core_categories removed.
- Option reconciliation never touched ANY nested config file: configs_dir
carries a trailing slash, so rel stripping missed ('configs//'), the
template lookup failed, and reconcileConfigFile early-returned for
every file. Strip the slash before matching.
- reconcileConfigFile's AUTO_DELETE=false branch read a never-populated
live_line array, losing the dropped keys it promised to keep. Populate
it alongside live_value.
Also exclude *.bak from config sourcing (reconciliation writes <file>.bak
next to live configs — now that it runs, sourcing backups would resurrect
deleted keys), and add 'libreportal config check' as a non-interactive
front door to the converge pass (was only reachable via install flows and
the interactive menu).

Reverts the 2>/dev/null band-aids and fixes the root cause. The
manager-run install boot scans app configs under /docker/containers AS
the container user (runFileOp). But init.sh's initFolders creates that
dir manager-owned, and the handover to the container user happened later
(start_preinstall), AFTER the boot scans — so the scans ran as the
container user against a dir it didn't own yet: "find:
'/docker/containers/': Permission denied" (cosmetic; the dir is empty
that early, but it's the wrong ownership at the wrong time).
Add initContainerLayer() to init.sh's root phase (after initGIT +
initUpdateConfigs, before the manager-run handoff): rootless-only, it
creates the docker-install user if missing and chowns /docker/containers
to it (751). The later rootless setup is now idempotent — it finds the
user existing and just (re)asserts its password + daemon config (moved
updateDockerInstallPassword out of the create-only branch). Rooted is
unaffected (containers stay manager-owned, which the manager reads).
Result: by the time the boot scans run, /docker/containers is owned by
the user doing the scanning — no permission error, nothing suppressed.

Early in an install the docker-type config isn't loaded yet, so runFileOp
falls back to the manager, which can't list the container-owned (751)
/docker/containers/ dir. Two best-effort scans then leaked
"find: '/docker/containers/': Permission denied" to the install output
(x3 per run): scan_files.sh's app_configs scan and the application config
reconcile. No app configs exist that early on a fresh install, so the
empty result is correct — just suppress the find stderr (the -print0
output still flows). Cosmetic only; doesn't change what's enumerated once
the config is loaded.

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.
