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).

Container-plane docker now routes through the mode-aware helpers instead of
sudo: simple calls (exec/ps/run/build/images/inspect/port/logs across ~15
app/check scripts) -> runFileOp docker (rootless socket as the install user;
rooted via the docker group). The cd && docker compose paths drop the sudo on
the rooted branch (the rootless branch already used dockerCommandRunInstallUser
-- byte-identical now, manager-ready later); gluetun, which had no rootless
branch, now uses dockerCommandRun so force-recreate works in both modes.

The apps SQLite DB ($docker_dir/$db_file) is owned by the manager user, so
read/write it AS the manager via runInstallOp instead of sudo (root). 48 call
sites across 28 scripts. In rooted this drops root->manager (correct owner);
in rootless it's the manager too (using runFileOp/dockerinstall here was the
'unable to open database' bug). The broken 'command -v sudo sqlite3' check
lines are left untouched (separate pre-existing issue).

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.

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).

- restic_install, crowdsec_update/verify_firewall/fix_priority: pure host
ops (apt/cscli/nft/systemctl, /etc/crowdsec) -> runSystem.
- kopia_backup/borg_restore: ignore-file/target tee+chown+mkdir -> runFileOp/
runFileWrite; kept the 'sudo -E -u dockerinstall' engine calls as-is —
those already run as the unprivileged backup user (least-privilege; the
scoped sudoers will permit (dockerinstall)).

- New runInstallOp helper for manager install-dir/template ops (rooted:
sudo; rootless: run as the current manager user, which owns the tree).
- adguard.sh, traefik.sh: container-config sed -> runFileOp.
- crowdsec.sh: host crowdsec systemctl/apt-get -> runSystem.
- dashy_update_conf.sh: conf-file mkdir/chown/md5sum/tee -> runFileOp/
runFileWrite; docker ps/restart -> dockerCommandRun.
Deferred (cross-owner copy / temp-file across /tmp<->/docker, need rootless
env to bridge correctly): owncloud_setup_config.sh, adguard_auth.sh.

Focalboard runs as nobody (65534) but fixPermissionsBeforeStart hands the app
dir to the install user, so the server couldn't open its sqlite db on the newly
mounted data dir. Chown data/ to 65534 in appUpdateSpecifics and restart.

setupLocalDnsRewrites points every configured domain at the server's LAN IP
inside the self-hosted resolver, so app subdomains resolve locally and hit
Traefik directly (valid certs, no router hairpin). AdGuard gets a wildcard
rewrite per domain via its REST API; Pi-hole gets per-host A records in the
supported, mounted custom.list (no wildcard support there). Safe by
construction: idempotent, guarded by installed-checks, cannot corrupt the
resolver. Hooked into the Apply-DNS actions and resolver install. Also drops
the dead HOST_NAME read from the setupDNSIP stub.
NOTE: needs a live smoke-test — the AdGuard API call and Pi-hole reload
can't be exercised without the running containers.
