Implementing this requires shell-specific changes to the Dockerfile, depending on the team/user's shell of choice. Different shells would require different implementations and I don't think I've ever seen a totally successful one. Implementations I've seen use COPY to pull in the shell profile, some use volume mounts, and some require apt-get to install the shell and any dependencies.
I think these changes would be within the scope of each project, rather than palm-cli.
One thing to keep in mind that the built image would be created with the local user's config, so an image built in CI and deployed to prod would have a different shell setup than the images built locally. And images built on my machine would no longer be the same as images built on yours. I prefer to have a minimal but consistent shell setup across all images, to reduce frustration when debugging a deployed image or production issue.
