Fix wiki dir permissions: run service as invoking user - #17
Merged
Conversation
The service runs via sudo on Linux, creating wiki files as root. Stdio agents run as the current user and can't write to the DB. Fixes: - Service config sets UserName to SUDO_USER so systemd runs the service as the invoking user, not root - Installer creates wiki dir before sudo, then chowns it back to the user after service install - macOS already runs as user agent (no change needed)

Problem
The Linux service runs as root (via sudo), creating wiki files and the SQLite database as
root:root. Stdio agents run as the current user and getattempt to write a readonly databaseerrors, making mind-map unusable for MCP clients.Fix
Service config: Set
UserNametoSUDO_USERin the systemd unit so the service runs as the invoking user, not root. Both the service and stdio agents now operate as the same user.Installer: Create the wiki directory before sudo, then
chown -Rit back to the user after service install to fix ownership of files created during the initial service start.macOS: Already runs as a user agent (launchd), no change needed.
