This PR fixes Docker Compose dev containers starting every service in
the compose project, even when `devcontainer.json` specifies
`runServices`.
Previously, Zed deserialized `runServices` but did not use it when
invoking Docker Compose. The startup command was:
```sh
docker compose ... up -d
```
With no service operands, Compose starts every enabled service in the
project. This means unrelated services are started even when the
devcontainer config asks to run only the primary service and its
dependencies.
The fix propagates `runServices` into the Docker Compose build/start
path so Zed invokes Compose with the requested services:
```sh
docker compose ... up -d devcontainer
```
Compose will still start services required by `depends_on`, but
unrelated services are left untouched.
**Reproduction**
`.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`:
```json
{
"name": "Run Services",
"dockerComposeFile": "../compose.yml",
"service": "devcontainer",
"runServices": ["devcontainer"],
"workspaceFolder": "/workspace"
}
```
`compose.yml`:
```yaml
services:
devcontainer:
image: ubuntu:24.04
command: sleep infinity
volumes:
- .:/workspace
depends_on:
- database
database:
image: postgres:16-alpine
environment:
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: postgres
unrelated:
image: nginx:alpine
```
**Expected**: Zed starts `devcontainer` and `database`.
**Before this fix**: Zed also starts `unrelated`.
**After this fix**: `unrelated` remains stopped.
