I use DevPod [1] to run Claude Code within Docker-based dev container environments, and it's been fairly seamless. It lets me run environments locally and focus Claude's context on just the repo I want it to work on.
Bluefin distro is container/isolation oriented (sort of required given the immutable nature and not wanting to do too much layering) and includes a lot of options to implement a dev environment, including devpod and distrobox/toolbox.
Another idea is to develop in a KASM rootless docker workspace, where distrobox/toolbx can also be at your disposal. KASM workspaces are accessible thru the web, so you can work from anywhere.
The immutable nature of ideas like Bluefin and KASM encourage the user to use brew for package management, which would stay persistent under /home/linuxbrew
