Dev Container Setup
If you develop inside a GitHub Codespace or VS Code dev container, the repository includes a .devcontainer/devcontainer.json that installs the system libraries needed to run npm run test (VS Code's Electron-based test runner). Rebuild the container after pulling the latest changes to ensure the dependencies are installed.
