#30) PR #27 added .devcontainer/devcontainer.json but didn't update the README. Add a top-of-readme badge row (GitHub Codespaces + VS Code Dev Containers), mention the dev container as a no-install alternative in Prerequisites, link to it from the Quickstart heading, and add a dedicated 'Quickstart in Codespaces' subsection with the full four-step flow (badge, az login --use-device-code, azd env new, azd up). Pure docs, no code changes. Co-authored-by: Arun Sekhar <achand@microsoft.com>

What
Add a dev container so the repo opens cleanly in GitHub Codespaces / VS Code Dev Containers with
az,azd, and Python preinstalled.Why
Lets new users try the starter kit without installing the Azure CLI, Azure Developer CLI, or Python toolchain locally — one click "Open in Codespaces" and
azd upworks.How
Adds devcontainer.json based on the
