The location_loader's find ran through runFileOp (sudo -u libreportal),
which forks a sudo shell purely for the find call. configs/backup/
locations/ is already manager-owned (not in the dockerinstall-owned
containers tree), so the sudo step adds ~50 ms of process-creation
overhead for zero security benefit.
Plain `find` now, with a tiny [[ ! -r || ! -x ]] guard that falls
back to runFileOp if someone relocates the dir to a non-traversable
location. Same observable behaviour, ~50 ms saved per CLI invocation.
This is the simpler half of Phase 6 — the libreportal_configs scan
itself was already plain-find (only ~11 ms total for 22 files). The
remaining costly scan is app_configs against /libreportal-containers/,
which legitimately needs sudo because dockerinstall owns that tree.
Precompiling its content is possible but adds invalidation complexity
(updateConfigOption writes happen at runtime) — deferred for now;
better return on simpler interventions.

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).
