The STRTA Dockerfile added in #4 runs RUN make check as root (the default user). Our standard is that images build and run as a non-root user — never root.

Definition of done

The Dockerfile creates a non-root user and USER-switches to it before RUN make check, with a writable HOME and any build caches owned by that user. Root-only setup (package installs) stays before the switch.
docker build . remains green with the in-image make check running as the non-root user.
No other change in scope.

The finishing commit's title must end with (closes #N) referencing this issue.

Closing without action. The non-root Dockerfile requirement was specific to sfdupes (where a permission-based test cannot run under a root Docker build); it is not a general standard. lora.vegas keeps its root Dockerfile from #4. The in-flight branch for this change is being abandoned.
