- Remove strict security hardening to enable rootless Podman functionality
- Change NoNewPrivileges from true to false to allow user namespace operations
- Relax ProtectSystem from strict to full for container runtime compatibility
- Disable ProtectHome and PrivateTmp to support rootless container execution
- Add XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable pointing to user runtime directory
- Update install.sh to dynamically create XDG_RUNTIME_DIR with proper permissions
- Retrieve narvana user's UID and substitute it in service file configuration
- Set correct ownership and permissions (700) on runtime directory for security
- These changes are necessary to support rootless Podman which requires relaxed security constraints while maintaining user namespace isolation
