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.
