Research direction
No source files, tests, reproduction steps, or environment details are provided. Start by reproducing the dev container installation failure using the reported VS Code Server workflow and collect the missing software, browser, and operating-system versions. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and verifying that the server initializes instead of falling back to web-only mode.
