Tools such as OpenCode need to create state directories below ~/.local. Docker can create the parents of nested configuration volumes as root, leaving the development user unable to create sibling directories such as ~/.local/state.

Ensure the current user owns the .config, .local and .local/share parents. Preserve existing directory permissions and contents, including private mode 0700, while retaining the ownership repair for mounted configuration directories.

Independent extraction from #198, based directly on main. Part of #190.

🟡 Changes recommended

The ownership test can pass even if .local is omitted from chown, so it must check parent paths specifically in the chown arguments to catch a missing ownership repair.

What changed in this PR

This PR extracts the configuration-volume ownership fix from #198, allowing DevContainer tools to create state directories under ~/.local while preserving existing permissions and contents.

Changes:

• Repair ownership of .config, .local, and .local/share without changing their modes.
• Use $HOME for mounted configuration paths instead of /home/vscode.
• Add regression coverage for parent-directory handling and private permissions.

File	Description
tools/​tests/​volume_ownership_test.py	Adds checks for parent-directory handling and preservation of mode 0700.
src/​s-core-devcontainer/​.devcontainer/​s-core-local/​fix_config_volume_ownership.sh	Repairs parent ownership and retains mounted-directory ownership checks using $HOME.

isn't it enough to check at https://github.com/etas-contrib/score_devcontainer/blob/03dbcd18f51005c247a45cb6fb14e3b07326a5ce/src/s-core-devcontainer/.devcontainer/s-core-local/tests/test_default.sh that the directories have the expected permissions set?
