Normalize ownership of rootfs files to root:root in APK packaging#68
Conversation
APK tars were written with the host build user's uid/gid (docker --user uid:gid), and tar extract during rootfs assembly runs non-root so ownership fell back to the host user again. The booted system ended up with /bin, /etc, /usr, etc. owned by whichever uid the build happened to land on (e.g. the dev-image's uid-1000 `user`). - APK packaging: normalize every tar header to root:root via a small normalizeOwnership helper. - Image class: chown -R 0:0 \$DESTDIR/rootfs before mkfs.ext4 -d / mcopy (both now privileged) so the on-disk filesystem holds root-owned files, then chown \$DESTDIR back to the host user at the end of the disk task so the next build's host-side os.RemoveAll can still clean it up. Also record the changelog-style preference in CLAUDE.md.
