// The bind below names a *file*, and Docker creates a missing bind source itself,
// as a directory — on the host, where it outlives the container. Without this
// touch, post-create.sh's symlink would point at a directory and zsh could not
// write a line of history. Runs on the host before the container is created, so
// it cannot live in post-create.sh. (RSRMID-3052)
"initializeCommand": "touch ${localEnv:HOME}/.zsh_history",
// Only the history file, never the host home. This used to mount ${localEnv:HOME}
// at /WSL_USER to reach that one file, which handed the container read-write reach
// over the host's SSH keys, credentials and every other repository on the machine.
// post-create.sh symlinks ~/.zsh_history to this path; this repository is not on
// the devbase Feature, so that script is what makes history persist here.
