Excellent idea to spell out the scenarios explicitly.
[W]e don't really care what the uid is. If it matches that's fine, but
since the chroot environment will share nothing with the host, ids need not
match (IIUC).
I would disagree here. With container mounts, the host and a container can
share parts of the filesystem. As filesystem permissions are based on IDs, we
have to make sure those match inside and outside of the container.
This implies that 'Scenario 3' would be the only acceptable one. We have to
abort the container launch in Scenario 1 and 2.
