Remove node from dev stack

[thclark]

Feature request

Use Case

We want to be able to download and rapidly work with nimble devcontainers

Current state

Installing the node stack takes 1.38Gb of space (the rest of hte container is c. 700Mb) so dev containers are actually massive because of this. The sole reason to have a node stack at this point is to enable prettier and possibly some devcontainer features.

We never used prettier for python, and have recently moved to biome instead of prettier for javascript.

Thus we only use it for markdown and yml files.

There's got to be a better solution than installing an entire node stack just to format markdown and yaml?!

Proposed Solution

Keep an eye out for standalone yml and markdown extensions/formatters that don't rely on the node stack.
