AI assisted installation

Copy the block below into a chat with your coding agent:

Add ghcr.io/sliekens/devcontainer-features/ansible-core:1 to this project's Dev Container. Follow https://github.com/sliekens/devcontainer-features/blob/main/src/ansible-core/README.md. Use the collection's shared initializeCommand pipeline (devcontainer + jq + xargs over customizations.sliekens[].initializeCommand) for host bind pre-create; Unix/WSL2 only. Prefer that over hand-written mkdir unless asked.

Compatibility
