Under Model A the runtime runs as the manager, so establishing the
/docker ownership model needs root. Granting the manager a blanket
'sudo chown'/'sudo chmod' in the scoped sudoers would be root-equivalent
(chown /etc/sudoers, ...). Introduce a self-contained, root-owned helper
that performs only a FIXED set of reconciles on FIXED LibrePortal paths,
with owners derived from config + a baked manager name (never the caller)
and a strictly-validated app-name argument.
- scripts/system/libreportal-ownership: the helper (actions: reconcile,
traversal, containers-top, app-perms, webui, taskdir, app-data-nobody)
- run_privileged: runOwnership wrapper (sudo the installed helper; run the
bundled copy directly when already root mid-install)
- init.sh: installOwnershipHelper bakes the manager name and installs it
root:root 0755 to /usr/local/sbin (manager can't modify it)
- libreportal_folders/app_folder/app_update_specifics/task processor:
delegate the ownership chowns to runOwnership instead of runSystem chown
This removes chown/chmod-on-/docker from the runtime sudo surface, a
prerequisite for a non-root-equivalent scoped sudoers.

The CLI wrapper already runs as the manager (libreportal) but then did
'sudo ./start.sh', so the whole runtime executed as root — the reason
NOPASSWD:ALL was load-bearing. Drop that sudo so start.sh runs as the
manager; also drop the now-redundant sudo from the wrapper's own
manager-owned ops (config sed, /docker/configs + /docker/install
mkdir/cp/chown/rm, 'sudo -u libreportal' git clone, chmod). Only the
'cp -f init.sh /root/' copies stay root.
Running as the manager surfaced data-plane writes that only worked under
root; fixed to be owner-correct:
- webui_system_metrics: .metrics_{cpu,net}_prev state via runFileWrite
- atomicWriteWebUI: path-aware temp+chmod+mv (atomic same-dir rename as
the path owner) instead of bare >/mv
- webui_app_config last_update trigger via runFileWrite

root tee
- adguard auth: root-owned scratch via runSystem mktemp

The borg/restic/kopia engines all dropped to the dedicated backup user
via scattered 'sudo -E -u $docker_install_user'. Centralize that into a
single runBackupOp helper so the backup subsystem has one audit point and
the scoped sudoers needs only the (dockerinstall) drop rule.
Also:
- owncloud config heredoc tees -> runSystem (container-UID file)
- webui_display_logins: fix the broken 'command -v sudo sqlite3' guard
to 'command -v sqlite3' (body already runs sqlite3 via runInstallOp)

tagsManagerUpdateUniversalTag did a bare 'sed -i "$file_path"' — works only
because start.sh runs as root today; under Model-A-as-manager the manager
can't create sed's temp file in the dockerinstall-owned containers dir
(permission denied). Make the in-place edit run AS the file's owner: classify
by path (containers/<app> -> runFileOp, manager configs/templates ->
runInstallOp), like createTouch. The awk read stays unescalated (config/compose
are world-readable). Unblocks running the whole app as the manager for tag ops.

The old copy/move helpers ran 'sudo cp/mv X Y; sudo chown $user_name Y' (root +
arbitrary chown). Rework them to write AS the destination's owner — no root, no
chown — classifying by dest path like createTouch: /docker/containers/<app> ->
runFileOp (docker install user), manager-owned control plane -> runInstallOp.
The $user_name arg is now advisory (the path decides). Covers copyFile/copyFiles/
copyFolder/copyFolders/moveFile; copyResource is always containers -> runFileOp;
createFolders' non-container branch -> runInstallOp; updateFileOwnership (an
arbitrary user1:user2 chown) -> runSystem. Confirmed by callers (containers vs
$docker_dir/backup_install_dir/configs dests). Removes a class of root data ops
+ arbitrary-chown from the runtime.

htpasswd -bnBC just computes a bcrypt hash to stdout (no file/root access), so
the sudo was unnecessary — drop it in the adguard/focalboard/invidious auth
helpers and password_hash. (App-config file edits owned by container UIDs —
owncloud config.php/adguard yaml — are deferred as category-3 cross-owner work
for the root-owned ownership helper.)

The git-update backup helpers operate on the manager-owned $backup_install_dir:
use_git_backup unzip + config_git_check find -> runInstallOp; install_git_backup
standalone find -> runInstallOp (drop the nested -exec sudo rm), and its
cd && find | xargs rm pipeline drops its sudos (manager owns the dir). The
many 'sudo -u $sudo_user_name git/rm/zip' calls stay (already least-privilege).

The backup engine already drops to the backup user (sudo -E -u
$docker_install_user) and backupLocationOwner == $docker_install_user, which is
exactly what runFileOp/runFileWrite resolve to in both modes. So convert the
raw-sudo data ops (mkdir/chmod/rm/find/cat/grep/mv/chown/tee on backup repos,
location configs, keys, manifests) to runFileOp/runFileWrite — creating files
as the owner directly, no root chown. backup_verify creates its scratch as the
backup user (runFileOp mktemp) instead of chown-after. Binary installs
(kopia tar/install, borg dnf) -> runSystem. The 44 sudo -u engine drops stay
(already least-privilege; the scoped sudoers will grant them).

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).

New 'System' admin page (sidebar Tools group) rendering the metrics the
collector now produces:
- live ring gauges for CPU, memory, disk and load
- SVG trend charts (CPU/mem/disk/network) with 1h/6h/24h range toggle
- host info + swap + docker summary strips
- per-app table: CPU/mem bars, network, status, CPU sparkline
Charts are hand-rolled SVG in charts.js (LPCharts) — no third-party libs or
CDN calls — themed entirely from the active theme's CSS variables. The
Overview System card now links here.

Add webui_system_metrics.sh, run each minute from webuiSystemUpdate:
- whole-server snapshot (metrics.json): CPU% + load, memory + swap,
per-mount disk + inodes, network rx/tx rate, docker summary
- capped ring buffer (metrics_history.json, 24h default) for trend charts
- per-app docker stats grouped by compose project (metrics_apps.json)
plus a short per-app history (metrics_apps_history.json) for sparklines
CPU% and network rate use stateful deltas stashed beside the JSON; all
host metrics read from /proc and docker via runFileOp, so it works rootless.

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.

install_user_manager appended a 'Match User' block to sshd_config with no
marker guard, unlike the rootless .bashrc block beside it. The enclosing
'if ! userExists' gate hides it today, but a user delete+recreate would append
a second block. Guard on the '### LibrePortal Manager User Start' marker so the
append is idempotent.

installLibrePortalWebUITaskService only wrote the unit if it didn't already
exist, so env/User/mode changes never reached an existing install and a
docker-type switch couldn't update the service. Make it converge: compute the
desired unit for the current mode and only rewrite + daemon-reload + restart
when it actually differs (otherwise just ensure enabled+running, no restart, so
routine re-runs don't bounce the processor and kill in-flight tasks). The
docker-type switcher now calls this idempotent setup (replacing the one-shot
restart helper), so a swap updates the env AND restarts in one step.

The rootless task-processor service env used id -u $sudo_user_name (the
manager, e.g. 1001) for DOCKER_HOST/XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, but the rootless daemon
runs as the docker install user, so its socket lives at
/run/user/<install-user-uid>/docker.sock (e.g. 1002). The manager-uid path
doesn't exist. Use id -u $CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_USER so the env matches the
actual rootless socket (same values dockerCommandRunInstallUser uses).

The task processor reads CFG_DOCKER_INSTALL_TYPE once at startup to decide how
runFileOp writes into the task dir (rootless -> as the docker install user,
rooted -> as the manager). After a rooted<->rootless swap a running instance
keeps the old mode and writes task files wrong. Add
restartLibrePortalWebUITaskService and call it at the end of both switch
branches so the processor re-sources the new mode. The switch is a CLI
one-shot, not a processor task, so the restart won't interrupt it.
