can you make use of versions.sh in this file to not repeat the version numbers?

Unfortunately no, I think. This file belongs to the devcontainer s-core-devcontainer itself, not to the local feature s-core-local (which provides tools for which no existing devcontainer feature can be used). It would be an encapsulation violation to do so.

It does sound wrong to have versions in two places. But I don't understand enough of the setup to propose any solution here.
Also the versions should be easily accessible somehow for unrelated, non-devcontainer usecases. That's probably a topic in itself.
duplicate, and it is already in the base-image anyway
otherwise, re-builds of the container may "suddenly" contain unexpected versions of relevant tools
this is really *a lot*

Since these tools are really important, we should definitely check that the versions are as expected.
Following https://code.visualstudio.com/remote/advancedcontainers/persist-bash-history, this implements an across-container-restarts-persistent bash history.

Let me test that one. It has zsh support, which may be not a bad idea.

I tried it, but it fails to install

Apparently, there are additional requirements for this feature. For this little advantage, it seems to be too complicated.

Here, I have collected a few improvements to the DevContainer which I think should go in before we call this a 1.0.0.
