Problem: - v1.28.1 Docker build fails with "addgroup: gid '1000' in use" - node:20-alpine base image already uses GID 1000 Solution: - Remove custom app user creation (addgroup/adduser) - Use node:20-alpine's built-in node user (UID/GID 1000) - Update chown to use node:node instead of app:app Benefits: - ✅ Fixes GID conflict - ✅ Maintains security (non-root user) - ✅ Simpler Dockerfile (no user creation needed) - ✅ Follows Docker best practices Fixes: v1.28.1 Docker build failure Related: #539 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🐛 Problem
v1.28.1 Docker build fails with error:
Root cause: node:20-alpine base image already uses GID 1000 for its built-in
nodeuser, causing a conflict when trying to create a newappuser with the same GID.Impact:
✅ Solution
Remove custom user creation and use node:20-alpine's built-in
nodeuser instead.Changes
