Metadata

Commit Message: feat(resource): add devcontainer resource type and auto-discovery handler
Branch: feature/m6-devcontainer-handler

Background and Context

The specification (ADR-043, §Resources > Devcontainer Integration) defines two new built-in resource types: devcontainer-instance (inheriting from container-instance) and devcontainer-file (physical single-file resource pointing to devcontainer.json). When a resource with a .devcontainer/ directory is linked to a project, the system should auto-discover the devcontainer configuration and register child resources. This enables container-based execution environments for tool execution in later milestones.

Expected Behavior

Users can register devcontainer resources via CLI, and the system auto-discovers .devcontainer/ directories within linked resources, creating devcontainer-file and devcontainer-instance child resources in the resource DAG.

Acceptance Criteria

Add devcontainer-instance built-in resource type inheriting from container-instance in the resource type registry.
Add devcontainer-file built-in resource type as a physical single-file resource type.
Implement DevcontainerHandler in src/cleveragents/resource/handlers/devcontainer.py that discovers .devcontainer/devcontainer.json or .devcontainer.json within linked filesystem/git resources.
Auto-discovery creates devcontainer-file child resource pointing to the found devcontainer.json.
Auto-discovery creates devcontainer-instance child resource representing the potential container instance (initially inactive).
CLI: agents resource add devcontainer-instance <name> --config <path-to-devcontainer.json> registers a devcontainer resource manually.
CLI: agents resource tree shows devcontainer resources in the DAG hierarchy.
Handler validates that devcontainer.json is well-formed JSON before registration.

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

All subtasks below are completed and checked off.

The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly.
The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done.

Subtasks

Code [Jeff]: Add devcontainer-instance and devcontainer-file entries to the built-in resource type registry in src/cleveragents/resource/schema.py.
Code [Jeff]: Implement DevcontainerHandler class in src/cleveragents/resource/handlers/devcontainer.py with auto-discovery logic for .devcontainer/ directories.
Code [Jeff]: Wire DevcontainerHandler into the resource handler resolver (src/cleveragents/resource/handlers/resolver.py).
Code [Jeff]: Add CLI support for agents resource add devcontainer-instance command in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/resource.py.
Code [Jeff]: Add auto-discovery hook that triggers when a filesystem or git resource is linked to a project, scanning for .devcontainer/ directories and creating child resources.
Docs [Jeff]: Add docs/reference/devcontainer_resources.md documenting the resource types, auto-discovery behavior, and CLI usage.
Tests (Behave) [Jeff]: Add features/devcontainer_handler.feature covering: manual registration, auto-discovery from git resource, auto-discovery from filesystem resource, invalid devcontainer.json handling, resource tree display.
Tests (Robot) [Jeff]: Add robot/devcontainer_handler.robot integration tests for CLI round-trip and DAG hierarchy.
Tests (ASV) [Jeff]: Add benchmarks/devcontainer_handler_bench.py for auto-discovery throughput on projects with many subdirectories.
Quality [Jeff]: Verify coverage >=97% via nox -s coverage_report. If coverage is <97% then review the current unit test coverage report at build/coverage.xml and use it to write new Behave based unit tests to improve code coverage. Specifically, write Behave style unit tests that are descriptively named and specifically improve coverage on whichever file has the most uncovered lines by writing tests that will target the uncovered lines in the report. Once that is done rerun nox -s coverage_report to verify all tests pass and coverage is above >=97%. Only mark this as complete once coverage is >=97%, if not repeat this task as many times as is needed until coverage reaches >=97%.
Quality [Jeff]: Run nox (all default sessions, including benchmark), fix any errors if needed ensuring nox passes across entire code base, do not ignore any failure even if it seems unrelated to this commit, fix it.
