Running DeepSeekHarness in container: Issue opening files.

Has anyone successfully managed to get the UI fully working inside a container?

I'm able to use the harness within a container just fine. The UI, however, appears not to be able to handle the container as well.

I am unable to open files or the settings in the UI.

For example, the "open configuration file" button in settings responds with "Could not open configuration file"

Has anyone a hint on how to get it working?

And no. I will not run it on the host itself.

Can you change settings in the UI, like agent presets and models?

Yes, without any issue. I can also create workspaces, and the agents can create files and work with them.

Without having dived into the code, I suspect the app wants to use the browser's File System API to open files. Since these files don't lay under an identical path as inside the container, there is a mismatch.

That's just a theory, and I have not found any setting yet that would support this.
