Research direction

Review the Docker image definitions and current startup behavior first; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Determine how S6-Overlay should run Node-RED as a daemon and control environment variables, permissions, and UID/GID, then verify those behaviors across the affected images.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Add S6-Overlay process supervisor to the NR Docker images. This allows Node-RED to run as a daemon and adds more control of environment vars, permissions, uid / gid etc etc.
