Subject: [PATCH] fix(release): refuse to run from a snap-sandboxed HOME

When release.sh is launched from VS Code's integrated terminal, podman
sees $HOME=/home/$USER/snap/code/<rev>/ and stores its database there.
If snapd auto-updates code mid-session (rev 258 -> 260), the next
podman invocation finds a stale static-dir pointer and aborts with:

  Error: database static dir ".../snap/code/258/.../libpod" does not
  match our static dir ".../snap/code/260/.../libpod"

Detect the pattern ($HOME under /home/*/snap/*) and bail out early
with an actionable message: re-run from a regular host terminal.
