Description
## Gap
Upstream \`@devcontainers/cli\` forwards the host's SSH agent socket and (optionally) GPG agent socket into the container by default, via mounts + env (\`SSH_AUTH_SOCK\`). We do not.
## Expected
- Default: bind-mount \`\$SSH_AUTH_SOCK\` (or platform equivalent) into the container and set \`SSH_AUTH_SOCK\` in remoteEnv. Skip cleanly when no agent socket exists.
- GPG: opt-in mirror of GnuPG agent socket, since it's more invasive.
- Both should be disable-able via \`EngineOptions\` for headless / hermetic consumers (DAP).
## Notes
Real-world consequence: \`git clone git@github.com:...\` inside a devcontainer fails under our runtime where it succeeds under the upstream CLI.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Go runtime's EngineOptions and the container setup path, then compare the upstream @devcontainers/cli behavior for SSH_AUTH_SOCK and GPG agent sockets. Done means agent sockets are mounted and exposed when available, GPG forwarding is opt-in, and both can be disabled for headless or hermetic consumers such as DAP.
