Subject: [PATCH] feat: install jq in containers for better JSON handling

- Containers created by the script now get jq installed
- Makes auto-update config more reliable
- Keeps JSON properly formatted
- Falls back gracefully if jq can't be installed
- Only affects fresh installs in containers, not existing systems
