Known issue / TODO: execd-ebpf selection is not wired end to end

The default image ships both the minimal execd binary and the execd-ebpf observation variant (root /execd and /execd-ebpf), but the server-side selection is not implemented yet: nothing in the server injects the EXECD env var (which bootstrap.sh honors to pick a binary, defaulting to /opt/opensandbox/execd), and the Docker / K8s distribution paths only install /execd into /opt/opensandbox. Until that lands, using execd-ebpf requires manually staging the binary (or overriding EXECD) โ€” do not rely on it in production.
