Proposed fix: [Dev Container Features] Local Feature ignored: 'An Absolute path to a local feature is not allowed.' / 'Local file path parse error. Resolved path must be a child of the .devcontainer/
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Move the Feature under .devcontainer/ (e.g. .devcontainer/local-features/foo) and reference it as "./local-features/foo"; publish shared Features to an OCI registry instead.
Option: Move the Feature under .devcontainer/ (e.g. .devcontainer/local-features/foo) and reference it as "./local-features/foo"; publish shared Features to an OCI registry instead. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Referencing a Feature by path in devcontainer.json features ("./my-feature", "../features/x", "/abs/path")
Steps:
1. mkdir -p .devcontainer/local-features && mv feature .devcontainer/local-features/
2. "features": {"./local-features/feature": {}}
Expected: The error no longer appears.
