Description
When launching mapt in containers with the wrong user permissions, mapt may fail to create the files necessary to destroy the cloud resource (with mapt).
Examples:
INFO Resources:
INFO + 16 created
INFO
INFO Duration: 9m39s
INFO
open /workspace/host: is a directory
INFO Resources:
INFO + 16 created
INFO
INFO Duration: 12m26s
INFO
open /workspace/username: permission denied
This one is less of an issue, as it fails early. But mapt could provide a more user-friendly error message:

Research direction
Start by tracing mapt's startup path that creates or selects cloud resources and writes files under the target directory, including /workspace and .pulumi/meta.yaml. Reproduce the examples with an unwritable target and verify that mapt reports the permission problem before creating resources, with a clear error for both files and directories.
