Description
Because editors come back to documents sometimes months later, it's hard to remember if an individual document's container has been updated.
Can a script be added to the container that would automatically check for updates and update the container rather than having the user manually run pull-latest-image.sh at the command line and rebuild containers without cache from VS Code?

Research direction
Start with pull-latest-image.sh and the existing VS Code container workflow to understand how images are checked, pulled, and rebuilt without cache. Define when the automatic check should run and how updates should be applied, then verify that editors no longer need to invoke the script and rebuild manually.
