teknium1 172a38c344 fix: Docker persistent bind mounts fail with Permission denied
cap-drop ALL removes DAC_OVERRIDE, which root needs to write to
bind-mounted directories owned by the host user (uid 1000). This
broke persistent Docker sandboxes — the container couldn't write
to /workspace or /root.

Add back the minimum capabilities needed:
- DAC_OVERRIDE: root can write to bind-mounted dirs owned by host user
- CHOWN: package managers (pip, npm, apt) need to set file ownership
- FOWNER: needed for operations on files owned by other users

Still drops all other capabilities (NET_RAW, SYS_ADMIN, etc.) and
keeps no-new-privileges. Security boundary is the container itself.

Verified end-to-end: create files → destroy container → new container
with same task_id → files persist on host and are accessible in the
new container.
