What happens when a user runs the IDE from the Galaxy Repository node?

When a user runs the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from the Galaxy Repository node, the Galaxy becomes locked for remote users. This is an important feature designed to ensure the integrity and stability of the development environment during critical operations. Locking the Galaxy prevents others from making changes or updates that could interfere with ongoing work or lead to inconsistencies, thereby maintaining a controlled environment.

The functionality is essential for collaborative efforts where multiple developers might be using the Galaxy for different projects. By securing the repository in this way, it minimizes the risk of conflicts and ensures that the user can proceed with their work without experiencing interruptions or unexpected changes from other users accessing the system remotely.
