A broken DNS resolution in init-firewall.sh was killing devcontainer builds, and it's now patched [ref:1].

The statsig.anthropic.com hostname stopped resolving, causing init-firewall.sh to exit with an error during postStartCommand execution [2]. This cascading failure prevented developers from spinning up devcontainers until the allowlist entry was removed. Meanwhile, across the plugin ecosystem, automated validation is running steady: wix, buildkite, and aikido all cycled through SHA bumps across knowledge-work-plugins and claude-plugins-official [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]. All bumps validated via claude plugin validate before PR submission. The plugin pipeline is humming, but the devcontainer fix is the actionable priority this cycle.

Action items

→ Merge claude-code#72451 immediately to restore devcontainer startup anthropics/claude-code [immediate]
→ Review and merge pending plugin SHA bumps in knowledge-work-plugins and claude-plugins-official anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins [plan]
