The read-obly file failures happen due to running containers in
"rootless" mode; even the files are chmod'd read-only the files can
still be written there (IMO that is a bug in podman...)

try:

$ echo foo > bar
$ chmod 400 bar
$ cat bar
foo
$ echo foo >> bar
zsh: permission denied: bar
$ podman unshare
# echo foo >> bar 
# cat bar
foo
foo
# exit
$ cat bar
foo
foo
$ echo foo >> bar
zsh: permission denied: bar

I've been running some tests in various (podman) containers, and
seen that -- cannot recall now If I've seen all the others below...
