The jlesage/baseimage-gui sets XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/config/xdg/config at
runtime, so Chrome was writing its profile to /config/xdg/config/google-chrome
which lived on ephemeral storage. This caused Chrome to open as a fresh
install on every pod restart.
Changes:
- Mount the PVC at /config instead of /home (aligns with baseimage-gui convention)
- Move user home directory to /config/userdata (on the PVC)
- Add explicit --user-data-dir for Chrome pointing to PVC path
- Clean up Chrome crash lock files and patch Preferences on startup
to prevent session/cookie loss after unclean pod shutdown
- Update all scripts (sshd, init-repo, cont-init) to use new paths
- Remove unnecessary cont-init-home.sh

On first boot, generated host keys are saved to ~/.ssh/host_keys/ on
the persistent home PVC. On subsequent boots they are restored, so SSH
clients never see a "host key changed" warning after a pod restart.

SSH is now a standalone `ssh: true/false` value that starts sshd on
port 22 *in addition to* whatever IDE is running, rather than replacing
it. The `ide` value loses the `ssh` option and gains `none` (keep
container alive with no GUI IDE, useful when ssh: true is the only
access method).
- chart/values.yaml: replace `ide: ssh` with `ssh: false` boolean
- chart/templates/deployment.yaml: expose port 22 when ssh=true,
port 5800 when ide!=none; probes use HTTP (VNC) or TCP socket (SSH-only)
- chart/templates/service.yaml: include both ports when both enabled
- scripts/cont-init-sshd.sh: check SSH=true instead of IDE=ssh
- scripts/startapp.sh: add ide=none case (sleep infinity), drop ssh case
- chart/Chart.yaml: bump to 0.1.6
- README.md: update IDE choice and SSH access docs

- Add `ide` Helm value with options: vscode, antigravity, ssh
- Dockerfile: install Google Antigravity via apt and openssh-server
- scripts/startapp.sh: branch on IDE env var to launch the right app
- scripts/cont-init-sshd.sh: start sshd as root in SSH mode, set up
authorized_keys from SSH_AUTHORIZED_KEYS env var
- chart/templates/deployment.yaml: pass IDE env var, conditional ports
and probes (HTTP for VNC modes, TCP socket for SSH mode)
- chart/templates/service.yaml: expose port 5800 (VNC) or 22 (SSH)
- chart/values.yaml: add ide field with documentation
- README.md: document IDE choice, fix stale happyHomeDir references
- chart/Chart.yaml: bump to 0.1.5
Closes#10
