groupadd fails with exit 4 if the GID already exists. Fall back to renaming the existing group to 'clide' so the useradd step succeeds. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace the npm-installed Claude Code CLI with the official native installer (curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | sh). This eliminates the auto-update permission error that occurred because the npm global prefix was owned by root while claude runs as clide. The native binary at ~/.local/bin/claude is self-updating — no more version pinning or container rebuilds needed to get new Claude releases. Node.js is retained for Codex CLI and entrypoint config scripts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
