Merged

Conversation
OpenVPN fundamentally requires root/CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to allocate a virtual tun/tap device (/dev/net/tun or macOS utun). Without root, all configuration tests fail immediately with permission denied. - restore require_root_for in scan to transparently re-execute under sudo - retain carried environment and ownership repair so the user's database is used - bump workspace version to 1.2.2 and update release notes

OpenVPN requires root/CAP_NET_ADMIN privileges to allocate a TUN device (/dev/net/tun on Linux, utun on macOS). Restores require_root_for in scan while retaining the Linux database fix across sudo.
