   CodeCanvas will initiate stopping the dev environment: save the contents of the working directory /mnt/jetbrains and user home directory /root to the dev environment storage, unmount the storage, and perform graceful shutdown for the container (docker stop). All uncommitted changes will be available after you restart the environment.

   All other directories aren't saved. For example, if, during your session, you installed additional tools with apt get, they won't survive stopping the environment. For this purpose, you should use custom dev environment images.
