Description
Using the steps from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/226759 (with the custom port) I'm asked for the remote platform every time I connect.
Remote-SSH v0.114.2024083019 on Windows.
There is an entry for localhost in the user settings:
"remote.SSH.remotePlatform": {
"win11-server2": "windows",
"localhost": "linux"
},

Research direction
Reproduce the steps from issue 226759 using the custom port and the shown remote.SSH.remotePlatform settings. Trace how the localhost platform entry is handled during Remote-SSH connections; done means the remote platform is not requested again for the configured host.
