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

Moving it to /workspace (emptyDir) wiped Happy Coder's auth, config,
and state on every pod restart. The daemon also failed to start on boot
because the settings were gone.
Keep HAPPY_HOME_DIR on the home PVC (/home/user/.happy) for persistence.
The stale lock cleanup in init-repo.sh already handles the daemon.state.json.lock
problem that motivated the workspace move.

The daemon.state.json.lock lives on the home PVC and survives pod
restarts, causing happy daemon start to fail on every reboot. Moving
HAPPY_HOME_DIR to /workspace (emptyDir) means the entire happy state
directory is ephemeral and always clean on startup.
The rm -f in init-repo.sh is kept as a safety net for the within-run
case but is now a no-op on fresh starts.

daemon.state.json.lock is left behind when the daemon crashes or is
killed (e.g. pod restart). On next startup happy daemon start sees the
lock and exits with "Failed to start daemon" without further detail.
Remove the lock file unconditionally at startup — if no daemon is
running, the lock is stale by definition.

sudo -u failed because the app user is not in sudoers. It was unnecessary
anyway: startapp.sh (and init-repo.sh) run as the app user (UID 1000) so
happy daemon start already executes as the correct user with the right HOME.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.).

The npm package installs a binary named 'happy', not 'happy-coder'.
Use 'happy daemon start' to run it as a background service.
Also create $HOME on the PVC if it doesn't exist yet, which was
causing git config failures on fresh volumes.

- Fix chown/sudo to use numeric UID/GID instead of hardcoded 'claude'
username (baseimage-gui creates users dynamically, name not available
at script runtime)
- Fix image name: ghcr.io/cpfarhood/devcontainer (matches github.repository)
- Fix ConfigMap name: antigravity-config -> antigravity (matches statefulset refs)
- Set github-repo in ConfigMap to headlamp-polaris-plugin
- Set HTTPRoute to external gateway at antigravity.dev.farh.net
- Add CLAUDE.md for Claude Code guidance
