IntelliJ Scala Plugin support for virtualized environments

" summary

IntelliJ IDEA 2026.1 lets Scala projects run fully inside Dev Containers + WSL so no local RabbitMQ, Java or SBT installations are required; demo uses a Docker Compose devcontainer with RabbitMQ, SBT import, a running consumer and producer that exchange a “Hello Scala” message, worksheet-driven sends, breakpoint debugging with expression evaluation, and green builds and tests (MUnit, ScalaTest, uTest, Specs2) after fixing intentional failures. The claim is reproducible: project opens, containers start, code runs and debugs, and tests execute inside the virtual environment.
