Conversation

Summary
USER 1000:1000switch, so it installs into/home/rails/.local/bin/under therailsusermvto/usr/local/bin+chmod 755)/home/rails/.local/bintoPATHviaENVWhy
The previous approach installed as root then tried to make the binary accessible to the
railsuser viachmod. Installing as therailsuser directly is simpler and follows the principle of least privilege.
