On Windows, ${localEnv:HOME} expands to an empty string in devcontainer-feature.json (Windows uses USERPROFILE, not HOME), causing the bind mount source to resolve to a literal "/.claude/.credentials.json" and fail with "bind source path does not exist". Concatenate both vars so exactly one wins on each platform: ${localEnv:HOME}${localEnv:USERPROFILE}.

Add a lint script that asserts every mount source mentioning HOME also mentions USERPROFILE, and wire it into the test workflow so the regression can't sneak back in.
