4 Strategies to Run Quantum ESPRESSO on Modal, All Failed

We tried four image-registry strategies to run Quantum ESPRESSO on Modal's serverless GPU infrastructure. apt_install hangs at tasks=0, ephemeral detach produces the same symptom, GHCR returns 403 Forbidden, and Docker Hub returns 'manifest not found.' The only viable path is a custom Dockerfile with QE compiled from source.
