Description

Enjoying this extension very much so far but running into some issues because it always assumes that I want to run docker compose ... build with my DevContainer.

The problem is the environment I've created is for ML development and it takes quite a bit of time to build (~30m). Basically was thinking to improve the flow by disabling the auto-build. The aim is to have better control by using docker compose ... up so that it prefers the remotely available image (which I will use CI/CD to publish) but will naturally build if a manifest doesn't exist (when developing). For our case, it is always faster to pull than rebuild. Planning to use an image tagging scheme that matches our releases so this would change on PRs.
