Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix(docker): add MOLTBOT_STATE_DIR to resolve permission
 error

When running in Docker, the app fell back to os.homedir() to resolve
the state directory, but the container's HOME=/home/node didn't match
the mounted volume permissions properly.

By explicitly setting MOLTBOT_STATE_DIR=/home/node/.clawdbot in the
container environment, the app now correctly uses the mounted volume
path, fixing the "EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/node/.clawdbot/agents/main/agent'" error.

Fixes #3480

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix(docker): set directory ownership for container user

Add chown commands to set ownership of mounted directories to uid 1000
(the container's node user). This allows the container to write to the
mounted volumes when the host directories are owned by root.

Uses || true to avoid failing when run by non-root users.
