 - Arch Linux–based image
 - Runs as the host user (same username, UID, GID)
-- **Per-project isolation**: Each project gets its own container (identified by project path hash)
-- **Shared persistent home**: All containers mount the same home directory from XDG_DATA_HOME, allowing tools to persist across projects
-- **Sudo access**: OpenCode agent can install project-specific dependencies that persist in the stopped container
-- **Hard linking support**: Can hard link files like `~/.gitconfig` to share configurations with containers
 - Mounts only the current project directory (same absolute path inside container)
-- **Security boundary**: No access to SSH keys, passwords, or full `$HOME` (intentionally prevents remote code pushes)
+- Persists OpenCode state in XDG_DATA_HOME/opencode-container/container-home directory
+- No access to SSH keys, passwords, or full `$HOME`
 - Simple shell function (`opencode`) to launch interactively
