Removes `--unsafe-perm` flag from `npm install` command as it prints a warning message starting with npm v11 (which comes bundled with node24): ``` npm warn Unknown cli config "--unsafe-perm". This will stop working in the next major version of npm. ``` The flag was removed in npm v7 which we don't use in build-container (minimum version is v10 / node20) and therefore safe to remove here: npm/cli#2196 From the [npm Changelog](https://github.com/npm/cli/blob/e1a2837809a76896523cdfcbce7537e46f71d67e/CHANGELOG.md#all-lifecycle-scripts): > The `user`, `group`, `uid`, `gid`, and `unsafe-perms` configurations are no longer relevant. When npm is run as root, scripts are always run with the effective `uid` and `gid` of the working directory owner.
