We should do pip install -e . --config-settings editable_mode=compat in the dev container

Strict mode appears to be the future, but it creates a directory of softlinks. This means that clicking through takes you to a soft link, not the file itself, which is annoying. You also need to then set the breakpoint on the link not the original. Workarounds exist:

However I think we should use compat mode for as long as it works...
