Toolbox - interactive container environment
summary
Toolbox is an interactive container environment built on podman that creates persistent, integrated “pet” containers by bind‑mounting host paths under /run/host and mapping the current user so dnf and GUI apps run like on the host. Demoed workflows include building with GNOME Builder, running Dwarf Fortress, attaching gdb to a host core dump without reboot, and using strace in rootful mode (while preserving rootless safety for normal use). Ship target: RHEL 8.4 with UBI image support and added Podman tests.
