Add Dev Container Support

[RyanEwen]

Description

Add VSCode Dev Container definitions. Allows developing Bambuddy within a perfectly consistent environment regardless of the developer's OS and installed packages.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
• Documentation update
• Code refactoring
• Performance improvement
• Test addition or update

Changes Made

• Add the dev container definition files.

Additional Notes

To use this, open the project in a compatible IDE such as VS Code. You should automatically be prompted to reopen the project in a container. Upon accepting, dep will automatically be installed. Simply run the backend and frontend afterwards.

This is just a start. Rules can be added to the definition to enforce linting etc, if not already picked up from the existing project files.

Python version mismatch (high)

The Dockerfile uses python:1-3.11-bookworm but our production Dockerfile uses python:3.13-slim. pyproject.toml sets >=3.11 as the minimum, not the target — running dev on 3.11 could mask 3.12+ behavior differences. Please update to:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python:1-3.13-bookworm

host: '0.0.0.0' in vite.config.ts should be conditional (high)

This change is needed inside Docker for port forwarding, but it also affects every developer running npm run dev locally — their Vite dev server will now listen on all
network interfaces instead of just localhost, which is a security concern on shared networks.

Could you make it conditional? For example:

server: {
host: process.env.DEVCONTAINER === 'true' ? '0.0.0.0' : undefined,
proxy: { ... }
}

And add DEVCONTAINER: "true" to .devcontainer/docker-compose.yml environment.

Minor items:

• Node version is 20 in the devcontainer but 22 in the production Dockerfile — worth aligning to Node 22 for consistency (setup_22.x)
• The import reorder in vite.config.ts is unrelated cosmetic churn — would prefer keeping the diff minimal and reverting that

[RyanEwen]

Good catches. That's on me for not double-checking the versions when using helpers to make the dev container.

Please rebase with branch 0.2.3b1 and also change target branch to 0.2.3b1.

Do you want to continue this?

Yes. I am to take a look this weekend. Big family/life things came up lately.

All good. Just wanted to know.
