   Triage: Priority Low (total 4)

   • Severity 2: Read-only allowed directories are still only possible through Docker mount flags; a way to mark a directory read-only when running from npx is a reasonable usability request.
   • Urgency 2: wanted eventually
   • Bonuses: none

   Board: Servers V2 (#43), Status Incoming, awaiting maintainer review (no milestone yet). Part of the backlog triage in #4875.
