Pre-install dev and core test dependencies in devcontainer container

[nickpowersys]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I was hoping to have dev dependencies ready to use, and to run core tests without needing to install both sets of dependencies.

What is the motivation behind your request?

Having this context ready to use through VS Code, with any OS supporting devcontainers, seems like something that most contributors using devcontainers would want, instead of each contributor needing to install these dependencies into the container.

I want to be able to run uv commands to interact with the environment, for example updating dependency groups as needed while supporting a given backend.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have a uv .venv that is activated so that when a terminal becomes available after container start-up, it is possible to run the commands

uv pip list and see all of the installed dependencies,

and

pytest -m core to run the core tests.

What version of ibis are you running?

9.5.0

What backend(s) are you using, if any?

No response
