Set `WORKDIR /workdir` on Docker level
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to set Docker WORKDIR to /workdir as a base-image convention for snapcraft rocks. Discussed by maintainers, who are skeptical (GH search shows /app far more common); no agreement or implementation.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: This is a valid but contested feature/convention request, not a bug, and it has clearly been triaged: tigarmo said 'I don't see much reason to change what we use currently' and lengau backed it with GitHub-search counts showing 'WORKDIR /app' (~680k) vastly outweighs '/workdir' (~6.6k), finding 'much indication that this is a common convention outside of whalebrew.' The author responded with more argument but no maintainer agreement or implementation, and this repo snapshot contains no Dockerfile/WORKDIR source to change. Age is not a reason to close, so it stays open pending a rock-maintainer decision, but low actionability reflects the unresolved direction.

| #40 `--workdir` is ignored | snapcraft-rocks | open | Reporter: --workdir ignored by snapcraft-rocks containers; only /project works. Full docker repro given. Doc gap conceded by reporter, but why custom dirs are rejected (entrypoint/pwdb) is still unconfirmed. No maintainer response. |
