Description
In the 1.89 release note, it states that it's now possible to connect to WSL via SSH. But I cannot get it work on macOS.
Is it supported anyway?

Research direction

Check the Remote-SSH and WSL support paths for an existing limitation or documented setup requirement. Done means confirming support with working steps or documenting that this combination is unsupported.
