+# Log ownership guard for /app/data/logs.
+#
+# A host-side daily job creates the next day's dated log files
+# (error-<date>.log, meiliSync-<date>.log, ...) as root:root at 00:00 UTC.
+# LibreChat runs as the `cloudron` user and crashes (EACCES on uncaught
+# error) the first time it tries to append to a root-owned log. This guard
+# runs as root (via supervisord) and, every minute:
+#   1. pre-creates TODAY's and TOMORROW's dated files owned by cloudron
+#      (an existing correctly-owned file defeats the ownership flip —
+#      open(O_TRUNC) preserves the inode's owner),
+#   2. chowns any root-owned strays back to cloudron.
+#
+# This is a defense-in-depth stopgap; the host-side rotation config should
+# still be fixed to create files as cloudron (see co-op/support thread and
+# the overlay README).
