These items concern incorrect path resolution for bind mounts in Docker-based backends, including credential files, skill directories, cache paths, and document paths that reference container-internal paths instead of host-visible paths. Scenarios covered include sibling containers, Docker-out-of-Docker (DooD), and remote terminal backends.
