Describe the solution you'd like?
Since Warp is about improving team collaboration, I'm wondering whether you thought of leveraging the DevContainer spec: https://containers.dev/
I really like this paradigm because it ensures that my workspace (a bunch of git repos) has reproducible build/run behavior with respect to a container specifying the requirements for building/running my workspace.
With VS Code, a DevContainer-configured workspace allows starting the dev container and starting terminals running in that container. It would be nice to use Warp inside such containers. It would be even better if Warp was aware of the DevContainer configuration to provide support for configuring containerized Warp terminals, Warp teams, etc...
