# Restore sandbox ownership and writability on /sandbox/.openclaw. Two things
# go wrong here without this step:
# 1. `openshell sandbox create --from Dockerfile` builds the image in an
# environment that does not always honor USER directives — RUN steps
# above can execute as root, leaving root-owned state under .openclaw.
# 2. `openclaw doctor --fix` writes openclaw.json as mode 0444, which
# blocks the runtime process (uid 998 sandbox) from rewriting its own
# config even when it owns the file.
# Do the chown + u+w explicitly as root so the final image is usable by the
# non-root sandbox user at runtime regardless of what the intermediate
# layers did.
USER root
RUN chown -R sandbox:sandbox /sandbox/.openclaw /sandbox/.nemoclaw \
&& chmod -R u+w /sandbox/.openclaw
