Pull request overview
This PR fixes a permission error preventing UV from initializing its cache in the sandbox container. The issue occurs because the tmpfs mount at /home/sandboxuser/.cache (configured in compose.yml) inherits incorrect ownership when the directory doesn't exist in the image.
Changes:
- Creates
/home/sandboxuser/.cachedirectory with proper ownership in the Dockerfile before switching to the non-root user - Ensures the directory exists with correct permissions when the tmpfs mount is applied at runtime
