Seth Jennings 6461677c32 feat(policy): accept numeric UIDs for sandbox process identity (#1973)
* feat(policy): accept numeric UIDs in sandbox process identity validation

Allow run_as_user and run_as_group to be either the literal 'sandbox'
or a numeric UID/GID within [1000, 2_000_000_000]. This removes the
hard dependency on a baked-in 'sandbox' user in container images,
enabling compute drivers to inject resolved UIDs at sandbox creation.

Phase 1 of #1959.

* feat(supervisor): accept numeric UIDs for process identity dropping

Allow run_as_user and run_as_group to be numeric UIDs/GIDs, removing
the hard dependency on a baked-in 'sandbox' user in container images.

Changes:
- validate_sandbox_user(): accepts numeric UIDs without passwd lookup
  (logs OCSF event); keeps passwd check for "sandbox" name; rejects
  non-numeric non-sandbox strings that fail passwd lookup
- prepare_filesystem(): passes numeric UIDs/GIDs directly to chown()
  instead of requiring a passwd entry
- drop_privileges(): resolves numeric UIDs/GIDs directly via UID::from_raw
  / Gid::from_raw; skips initgroups when target uid matches current euid;
  uses guard conditions before setgid/setuid calls
- session_user_and_home(): falls back to ("{uid}", "/sandbox") for
  numeric UIDs, avoiding a passwd lookup that will fail

Re-exports MIN_SANDBOX_UID and MAX_SANDBOX_UID from openshell-policy
so callers have consistent range constants.

Phase 2 of #1959.

* feat(driver-kubernetes): resolve sandbox UID/GID from config or OpenShift SCC annotations

Phase 3 of the numeric-UID plan: allow operators to specify explicit
sandbox_uid/sandbox_gid in Kubernetes driver config, auto-detect from
OpenShift SCC namespace annotations, and propagate resolved values to
supervisor container env vars and PVC init container securityContext.

Changes:
- Add sandbox_uid/sandbox_gid fields to KubernetesComputeConfig
- Add SANDBOX_UID/SANDBOX_GID env var constants to openshell-core
- Implement resolve_sandbox_identity() to fetch namespace annotations
  and auto-detect OpenShift SCC UID ranges (sa.scc.uid-range)
- Pass resolved UID/GID through SandboxPodParams to pod spec builder
- Inject SANDBOX_UID/SANDBOX_GID env vars into supervisor container
- Update PVC init container securityContext with resolved UID/GID
  instead of hard-coded root
- Add comprehensive unit tests for resolution logic and annotation
  parsing (resolve_sandbox_uid, resolve_sandbox_gid, OpenShift SCC
  annotation parsing)

* feat(driver-vm): add configurable sandbox UID/GID and update docs/examples

Phase 4 of the numeric-UID plan: replace hardcoded SANDBOX_UID (10001)
in VM rootfs preparation with configurable sandbox_uid/sandbox_gid fields.

Changes:
- Add sandbox_uid/sandbox_gid to VmDriverConfig with serde derives
- Pass resolved UID/GID through prepare_sandbox_rootfs_from_image_root
  to ensure_sandbox_guest_user which writes /etc/passwd/group/gshadow
- Update BYOC Dockerfile: remove groupadd/useradd, document runtime UID
  injection and the ability to skip baked-in sandbox user
- Update gateway-config.mdx: document sandbox_uid/sandbox_gid for both
  Kubernetes (with OpenShift SCC autodetection) and VM drivers
- Update sandbox-compute-drivers.mdx: add Sandbox User Identity section
  explaining numeric UID support across all compute drivers
- Update rootfs tests to use non-default UIDs, verify config passthrough

* code review changes

* fix(supervisor): harden tests for restricted CI container environments

Guard tests against CI-specific constraints: root without CAP_SETPCAP,
UIDs with no /etc/passwd entry, and restricted /proc access.
