Problem Statement
All of my personal and work projects use dev containers. Up until now we've been using VS Code or Cursor to work on them. I was very disappointed to find Claude Code doesn't support dev containers.
Proposed Solution
Remote SSH support is already there, so hopefully this means it's not a big stretch to extend that further to dev container support.

Use Case Example
Example: A web app written in a specific version of PHP & apache, with specific modules required. Not something I want to setup on my host machine. Dev containers to the rescue.
