Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the intermittent Remote WSL disconnect using the reported VS Code, extension, Windows, and Ubuntu versions, then gather relevant extension logs and identify a reliable failure signal. Done means the cause is isolated and the connection recovers without shutting down and restarting the distro.
