// The history bind below names a *file*, and Docker creates a missing bind source
// itself, as a directory on the host, where it outlives the container.

// Narrowed from a mount of the whole host home at /WSL_USER, which handed this
// container read-write reach over the host's SSH keys, credentials and every other
// repository on the machine in order to reach one history file. (RSRMID-3052)
//
// Be aware that path currently feeds nothing here. post-create.sh says symlinking
// ~/.zsh_history out of /WSL_USER "is devbase's job now", but this frame never
// lists the devbase Feature, so nothing does it: the script stopped and the Feature
// never started. Completing that migration is a separate change; this one only
// stops the mount being wider than it needs to be.
