 ===== Root Cause =====
-The SQLite database file (''writefreely.db'') was owned by UID 1000 (the host user ''brennan''), but the WriteFreely process inside the container runs as UID 5000 (''writefreely''). The file permissions were ''644'', so the process could read but not write the file.
+The SQLite database file (''writefreely.db'') was owned by UID 1000 (the host user), but the WriteFreely process inside the container runs as UID 5000 (''writefreely''). The file permissions were ''644'', so the process could read but not write the file.
 Critically, WriteFreely opens its SQLite connection at startup. If the file is not writable at that moment, the connection is established in read-only mode and stays that way for the lifetime of the process. Fixing the file permissions alone (without restarting the container) has no effect on the existing connection.
