I think framework-specific stuff like that is better handled by higher-level tooling, typically something that's just embedding Mutagen. DDEV, for example, adds that type of functionality for PHP-based projects, while embedding Mutagen underneath.

The goal with Mutagen itself is (ideally) to be invisible - only providing synchronization and forwarding. Even Mutagen Compose (being just tweaked version of Docker Compose) probably falls too low in the stack to know anything about the specific frameworks being used atop it.

That being said, I think this is something that Compose wants to address, and that Mutagen Compose could inherit once it's added to the Compose Spec and implemented into Docker Compose. Things like profile specifications in Compose files are designed to encapsulate these types of operations (among other things).
