Proposed fix: [devcontainer CLI 0.87+] Lockfile now written by default (devcontainer-lock.json dirties CI trees); --frozen-lockfile fails 'Lockfile does not exist.' / 'Lockfile does not match.'
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Commit devcontainer-lock.json and update it intentionally (run without --frozen-lockfile locally or `devcontainer upgrade`), or opt out with --no-lockfile.
Option: Commit devcontainer-lock.json and update it intentionally (run without --frozen-lockfile locally or `devcontainer upgrade`), or opt out with --no-lockfile. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: devcontainer build/up in CI with Features, after upgrading to 0.87.0+
Steps:
1. Generate: devcontainer build --workspace-folder . (writes the lockfile).
2. Commit .devcontainer/devcontainer-lock.json.
3. CI: devcontainer build --frozen-lockfile, or --no-lockfile to opt out.
Expected: The error no longer appears.
