On SELinux-enforcing hosts (RHEL, Rocky), files moved from /tmp retain their original SELinux context. systemd (init_t) cannot read files with user_tmp_t or unconfined_u context, causing the shim service to fail. Fix by adding chcon after mv to set correct SELinux contexts for the service file (systemd_unit_file_t) and env file (etc_t). The chcon is a no-op on non-SELinux systems via 2>/dev/null || true. Also replace mv with cp+rm for the shim binary download to ensure correct context in /usr/local/bin/. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
