Add shared output volume and symlinks for cross-container data#75
Conversation
Reports and evidence written inside the Claude Code container were not appearing on the host because of two issues: 1. Path mismatch: Skill templates reference "output/reports/" which resolves to /root/output/reports/ (WORKDIR is /root), but the bind mount target is /root/reports/. Added symlinks in the entrypoint so /root/output/reports -> /root/reports, /root/output/sessions -> /root/results, and /root/output/screenshots -> /tmp/screenshots. 2. No cross-container data sharing: Kali MCP writes recon artifacts to /root/output/ inside its container, which was inaccessible to Claude Code and the host. Added a shared-output Docker named volume mounted in both kali-mcp (/root/output) and claude-code (/root/kali-data:ro). https://claude.ai/code/session_01TmNSmHJNnGJoE6hBJRQnwM
- Makefile: add shared-output volume to nuke target for complete cleanup - Entrypoint: show output/reports/ (the path AI should use) instead of internal /root/reports/ paths; clarify kali-data is read-only incoming - README: update output paths table to use relative path convention, document shared-output volume and symlink behavior https://claude.ai/code/session_01TmNSmHJNnGJoE6hBJRQnwM

Summary
This PR enables data sharing between the Kali MCP container and Claude Code container by introducing a shared Docker volume and creating symlinks to support multiple path conventions for accessing output files.
Key Changes

The symlink creation in the entrypoint script allows skill templates that reference
output/reports/,output/sessions/, etc. to resolve correctly within the container's/rootWORKDIR, while also supporting direct access to the bind-mounted directories. This provides flexibility for different code paths to access the same underlying data.The shared volume enables the Kali MCP container to persist reconnaissance data and tool artifacts that Claude Code can then access and utilize in subsequent operations.
