fix(docker): pre-create /app/data 1000:1000 so the binary can mkdir at boot

The first redeploy after slice 2 turned up a latent bug: without a bind
mount at /app/data, the container as UID 1000 can't os.MkdirAll
/app/data because /app (created by WORKDIR) is owned by root with 0755.

mDock works because the bind mount overlays /app/data with the host dir
(owned by m:m), so MkdirAll on the pre-existing dir is a no-op. But any
ephemeral run (smoke tests, CI, anyone running the image without -v)
crashes with 'mkdir /app/data: permission denied'.

Fix: build the empty data dir in the builder stage with `chown -R
1000:1000`, then COPY --from=build --chown=1000:1000 it into the
distroless final image. The bind mount continues to overlay it on
mDock without needing changes.

Verified: docker run -d (no -v) → /api/healthz returns {"status":"ok"}
and the data dir is writable.
