fix: run Happy daemon as app user, not root

Browse Source 
When init-repo.sh starts the happy daemon as root, HOME=/root so
Happy and Claude Code can't find credentials stored in /home/user.
The mobile app works when the user manually runs happy from a VSCode
terminal (as the user user) because the right home dir is in scope.

Use sudo -u with -E (preserve environment) so the daemon runs as the
correct user while still inheriting the pod's env vars (HAPPY_SERVER_URL,
HAPPY_WEBAPP_URL, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, etc.).
