Description
When I follow this documentation
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/components/vscode/using-vscode-for-remote-editing-and-debugging?view=powershell-6
I noticed remote editing only works for .ps1 files. For other extensions, you can save the file but it won't sync back to the server. I am using PowerShell v7 preview 3 for both host and server and both host and server are windows machines along with Latest VSCode and Powershell extension

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior using the linked VS Code remote-editing documentation with PowerShell 7 preview 3 on Windows, comparing .ps1 with another extension. Trace how saves are synchronized between the host and server; done means saving supported non-.ps1 files syncs them back to the server.
