Describe only the current useradd behaviour; drop the narration of the old
silent-failure bug (per the repo's no-tombstone-comments convention).

'local result=$(cmd)' resets $? to 0 (the local builtin's own exit), so the
following checkSuccess always saw success regardless of cmd's real exit — the
mechanism that masked the de-sudo write failures. Split declaration from
assignment ('local result; result=$(cmd)') across all 235 active-code sites
(84 files) so the command's exit reaches checkSuccess. No behaviour change
beyond $? now being accurate (no set -e in runtime code; multi-line
assignments transform safely).

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.

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.

useradd was missing its login-name argument (and -m), so it failed — silently,
because local result=$(...) swallowed the exit code and checkSuccess reported
success. The rootless install user was therefore never created, which cascaded
into 'invalid user dockerinstall' and a daemon that never came up. Pass the
username + -m (subordinate uid/gid ranges come from login.defs), unmasked.
