Session watcher will not attach when connected to remote host using SSH

Describe the bug

Session watcher will not attach when connected to remote host using SSH.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

(requires a remote server to connect to via SSH)

1. Connect to remote server in VS Code using Remote-SSH: Connect to Host... command from command palette
2. Start an R terminal with R: Create R Terminal
3. Click on R icon, notice that workspace says "R workspace viewer requires that the session watcher be enabled", even though R session is created and accepts commands from the text editor.

I have followed the instructions in https://github.com/REditorSupport/vscode-R/wiki/R-Session-watcher, in particular "Advanced usage"

Can you fix this issue by yourself? (We appreciate the help)

No

Expected behavior

I expect the session watcher and R workspace viewer to work.

Screenshots

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu Linux
• VSCode Version: 1.99.2
• R Version: 4.5.0
• vscode-R version: 2.8.5

Additional context

The session watcher and R workspace viewer do work properly when I am using VS Code locally (not connecting to the server).

Start by reviewing the linked R Session watcher wiki, especially its Advanced usage section, then reproduce with VS Code's Remote-SSH: Connect to Host... and R: Create R Terminal commands. Trace why the session watcher is not enabled in the remote window; done means the R workspace viewer works over SSH as it does locally.
