issue: could not resolve feature manifest #998
Description
I have seen a strange issue that I cannot explain properly. When using a Dev Container feature, on some devices, the Dev Container with that feature enabled would not start. Here is the log:

[2025-04-30T11:35:29.055Z] Exit code 1Docker is present in the same version on all machines: v28.0.4. The Dev Container extension for VS Code is installed in the latest version.
Could this somehow be related to proxies? I tried multiple proxy settings, but none worked on the machines affected by this issue. Do you have any idea what I should try next to get to the bottom of this?
