# Keep pixi's cache off the NFS-backed home volume.
#
# ACTL mounts $HOME from an nfs-shared PVC whose export squashes every write to
# nobody (65534), while the workspace container runs as root. pixi puts uv's git
# cache under its own cache dir, so a `git+https://` dependency gets cloned into
# a tree root does not own, and git refuses to touch it:
#
# fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at
# '/home/dev/.cache/rattler/cache/uv-cache/git-v0/db/<hash>'
#
# which surfaces as an unrelated-looking "failed to solve the pypi requirements"
# and blocks any environment with a git dependency (protpardelle, today).
#
# `git config --global --add safe.directory` is not a usable fix here: this
# image ships git 2.34.1, where only an exact path or the bare `*` is honoured —
# prefix globs are silently ignored (verified). The cache paths are
# content-hashed, so exact entries are whack-a-mole, and `*` would disable the
# ownership check on genuinely shared volumes like /mnt/diffuse-shared too.
#
# pixi already redirects its repodata and pypi-mapping caches off network
# filesystems on its own; it just does not do the same for the uv cache. Setting
# the cache root to container-local disk covers all of them. The trade-off is
# that the download cache no longer survives a pod restart — environments
# themselves live in the synced checkout and are unaffected.

Delete the stray assignment at line 58.

Docker parses SAMPLEWORKS_SKIP_ENV_PREPARE=1 as an invalid instruction after the RUN instruction. The variable is already defined in the ENV block.

In `@Dockerfile.astera` at line 58, Remove the standalone
SAMPLEWORKS_SKIP_ENV_PREPARE=1 assignment from the Dockerfile, leaving the
existing ENV block as the sole definition and preserving the surrounding RUN
instructions.
