maziggy 03d092387f fix(install): docker installer tries mkdir without sudo, escalates on EACCES (#1774)
install/docker-install.sh::create_install_dir ran `mkdir -p
      "$INSTALL_PATH"` without sudo while DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH was
      /opt/bambuddy, root-owned on every Linux distro. set -e then
      aborted the whole script before docker compose could pull the
      image — anyone running the documented `curl ... | bash` flow as
      a normal user hit this on first install.

      Fix: try the unprivileged `mkdir -p ... 2>/dev/null` first so
      --path ~/bambuddy, /srv/bambuddy and other writable targets don't
      trigger a needless password prompt, then fall back to
      `sudo mkdir -p` + `sudo chown -R "$USER:$USER"` only when the
      first attempt failed. The chown is load-bearing: without it the
      script would later try to write docker-compose.yml + .env into a
      root-owned dir as the invoking user and cascade further EACCES
      failures.

      Not changing the default path: install/update.sh and
      install/update_macos.sh both default INSTALL_DIR to /opt/bambuddy,
      and install/README.md's update flow documents the same — flipping
      the install default to ~/bambuddy without coordinating those
      would silently break self-service updates for anyone following
      the docs verbatim. The default stays /opt/bambuddy; only the
      escalation gap closes.

      set -e survives the redirected stderr because the `if !` form is
      the documented escape hatch for an expected-failure check.

      Smoke-tested writable-target, idempotent-rerun, and the
      failing-mkdir-then-sudo-fallback branches.
