Description

I am very confused.

I followed the instructions to open folder in container.
when vs opens in container, it does not open the folder in the container where the code is.
editing is possible but I need to go back to the host to restart the container to see changes
a volume is created bu it seems it is not being used as editing the file in vscode, leaves the file in the volume unchanged.

What am I missing?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the described VS Code Dev Container workflow and compare the folder opened in the container with the host path and created volume. Determine why edits made in VS Code do not appear in the volume or after container restarts. Done means the workflow is corrected or the expected editing and volume behavior is clearly documented.
