postCreateCommand cannot find executables that should be in PATH

[eguiraud]

What happened?
In a dev container that uses the pre-commit dev container feature to install pre-commit, I have a "postCreateCommand": "pre-commit install". It fails to run:

16:26:53 info Run command : pre-commit install...
16:26:53 warn bash: line 1: pre-commit: command not found
16:26:53 info lifecycle hooks: failed to run: pre-commit install, error: exit status 127
16:26:53 info devcontainer up: run agent command: Process exited with status 1
16:26:53 error Try using the --debug flag to see a more verbose output
16:26:53 fatal run agent command: Process exited with status 1

What did you expect to happen instead?

pre-commit should be in PATH in the dev container context: it is installed by the feature.

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)

This repo reproduces the issue with devpod up . --recreate:

https://github.com/eguiraud/devpod-postcreatecommand-issue

The devcontiner.json:

{
  "build": {
    "dockerfile": "Dockerfile",
    "context": ".."
  },
  "remoteEnv": {
    // set variable to the local user
    // Needed to upload to the db as the correct user
    "OS_USER": "${localEnv:USER}"
  },
  "features": {
    "ghcr.io/prulloac/devcontainer-features/pre-commit:1": {},
  },
  "remoteUser": "devuser",

  // install pre-commit Git hooks automatically after build
  "postCreateCommand": "pre-commit install",
}

Local Environment:

• DevPod Version: v0.5.19
• Operating System: linux
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64

DevPod Provider:

• Local/remote provider: docker | ssh

Anything else we need to know?

Works with VSCode.
