npm install -g puts openclaw in /usr/lib/node_modules which the container user cannot write to, causing self-updates to fail with EPERM. Install to ~/.npm-global as the container user instead, and propagate NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX + PATH to profile.d, environment.d, and the systemd service drop-in so the binary is found in all contexts.
Adds an LXD "gpu" device (covers /dev/dri render nodes) and a unix-char device for /dev/kfd (AMD ROCm compute) when present on the host, so AI workloads inside the container can use the GPU. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Set uid/gid/mode on the gpu and kfd device entries so LXD exposes the device nodes inside the container owned by the mapped user (mode 0660), giving the user account direct access without requiring render/video group membership. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
