Developing smart_proxy_container_gateway in the containerized environment

This documents how to do live development on the smart_proxy_container_gateway plugin against a foremanctl-deployed foreman-proxy container.

How it works

A systemd drop-in config volume-mounts your local git checkout of the plugin's lib/ directory over the RPM-installed gem inside the container. Edits to local files take effect on the next container restart — no image rebuild needed.
