Pull request overview
This PR refactors the VS Code devcontainer setup to reduce per-container startup work by moving “static” environment provisioning into the image build, and to support a two-step development workflow (build/install C++ first, then build/install the Python package against it). This aligns with the devcontainer improvements requested in issue #485.
Changes:
- Replace the per-create
venv.shbootstrap with a Dockerfile-built Python venv plus dev dependencies, and a newpost_create.shthat builds/installs C++ then installs the Python package. - Add Dev Container Features for Node.js and Rust (replacing nvm/rustup logic previously in
venv.sh). - Commit
devcontainer-lock.jsonto pin feature versions.

Just noticed this - this will install to a global location. This will preclude local builds of the code

@wavefunction91 sorry for the delay, testing the full build took a while. Apart from the non-sudo c++ qdk-chemistry install, few other small changes: I added the I also set

fixes #485
1st commit addresses point 1 (moving static installs to the image build).
For point 2, I set up the separate C++ and python installation that seems to work well for me. But I do understand that different users might want to set up their environment in different ways, so I could also revert this change (and use the single
pip installcommand).devcontainer-lock.jsonalso seems to be committed conventionally, added that as well.
