Add willow uid 10001 + USER directive in runtime stage of relay, replay, storage Dockerfiles. chown writable dirs (/etc/willow, /shared, /var/lib/willow) before USER switch. Web: switch nginx:alpine to nginxinc/nginx-unprivileged:alpine (uid 101, listens 8080). Compose maps host 8080 to container 8080. Refs #314 https://claude.ai/code/session_016cmtqT7yEQUgjcLgz4pARP
