Summary
Investigate whether we can provide a host-path alias inside the DDEV web container so tools can resolve host paths directly, reducing wrapper/path-translation complexity.
Goal
If the host project is at a path like /Users/.../project, evaluate whether the container can reliably expose that same alias path in addition to /var/www/html.
Investigation scope
- At least one working technical approach
- Install/start lifecycle integration points for the add-on
- Sandbox validation with concrete verification commands/results
- Impact on existing shims/wrappers
- Portability/safety constraints and guardrails
- Clear recommendation: adopt, defer, or reject
