Add build and PR validation workflow to build the dev container #8013

Open

Description

Area for Improvement

The dev container is our standardized engineering environment. It is subject to dependabot upgrades, changes to platform dependencies, and configuration changes due to evolving software development needs. We therefore need an automated PR validation build and a weekly scheduled build to ensure that the container continues to function as expected.

Observed behavior

Currently, the dev container is tested manually by running a local dev container build.

Desired behavior

We need a dev container build workflow that validates that the dev container can be built and that it functions as expected.

Proposed Fix

The dev container build should do the following using the devcontainer CLI:

  • Build the container image.
  • Launch the container.
  • Run a representative MAKE command within the container, e.g. make build lint to act as a validation test.
