Research direction

Start with docs/specs/devcontainer-lockfile.md, linked in the issue, and read the lockfile formatting requirements around the end of the file. Clarify whether a final newline is required, permitted, or optional, and consider the work done when the specification states this unambiguously.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
