The rootless WebUI container reads its bind-mount sources (configs/webui/*)
through the container-owner GROUP since a2376e2 switched those files from
world-readable to 0640 group=container-owner. But the WebUI credential
randomizer rewrites webui_logins via `sed -i` as the non-root manager, which
recreates the file with the manager's own group — dropping the container-owner
group. The installer then started the container immediately, so node hit
EACCES on /app/webui_logins at require-time (parseConfigFile) and exited 1;
nothing listened on the WebUI port. `libreportal webui login reset` had the
same latent bug (rewrite → restart). Under the old world-readable model a
post-sed file stayed o+r so the container could still read it, which is why
this only surfaced on fresh rootless installs after a2376e2.

Fix: make reconcileWebuiDirOwnership the single "ready the WebUI for its
container" pass — it now also restores the configs/webui bind access (new
`webui-bind` ownership action) on top of the container-dir chown. Reorder the
installer so the credential randomizer runs BEFORE the before-start permission
pass, making that pass the last ownership touch before the container starts;
and call reconcileWebuiDirOwnership before the restart in login reset.

Live box recovered via `libreportal-ownership reconcile`; WebUI 200.
