Research direction
Start with the Remote-SSH connection failure and the repeated “Failed to install the VS Code Server” message, using the Windows, VS Code, and extension versions in the report. Reproduce the failure and gather the missing installation details, then confirm that an SSH connection can successfully install and start the VS Code Server.
