What happened?

Hello,

Thanks for your work!

There is an issue when creating a workspace on the Flatpak version 1.5.0. I suspect that the command doesn't use the flatpak-spawn wrapper to call podman.

What did you expect to happen instead?

Create the workspace

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run Devsy in flatpak
  2. Create a workspace using Docker/podman

devcontainer.json

Seems to call podman directly instead of using a wrapper for flatpak-spawn.
