Setup Script Enhancement (setup-user-conf.sh)
- Add 5-step validation process:
- GHCR authentication (Docker/Podman)
- SSH public key validation
- Allowed-signers file check
- Git configuration validation
- GitHub CLI authentication
- Provide detailed setup instructions for each missing prerequisite
- Differentiate between errors (required) and warnings (optional)
- Show actionable commands to fix issues
README Documentation

- SSH key setup with specific naming requirements
- Allowed-signers file setup
- GitHub CLI authentication
- Add "Quick Validation - Test All Logins" section
- Update Quick Start with "Test All Logins and Prerequisites" step
- Add clear instructions to run validation script before opening devcontainer
Benefits
- Users can test all logins and authentication before opening devcontainer
