Pull request overview

This PR updates the devcontainer VS Code configuration to use a uv-managed virtual environment by default and to auto-sync dependencies when a Codespace/devcontainer is created, so running/debugging the “current file” uses the project environment without manual terminal steps.

Changes:

• Point VS Code’s Python interpreter to a workspace virtual environment (.venv).
• Enable automatic terminal environment activation.
• Add a postCreateCommand intended to install uv and run uv sync.

Thanks, will merge now. Our Codespace pre-builds havent been working but fingers crossed they'll start working overnight! I'll test in morning and see.
