Description
- VS Code Version: 1.128.0
- OS Version: Tahoe 26.5
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Agents view
2. connect via SSH, get prompted for password, but then nothing happens except: `Failed to connect via SSH to XXX: Error: [SSHRemoteAgentHost] Timed out waiting for agent host to start. output so far:` (this is the full error!)
Log for Remote Connections is empty (is this the right option).
Connecting via SSH in the normal pane works!
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the failure from the Agents view by connecting over SSH and compare it with the working normal-pane SSH connection. Start with the Agents view and Remote Connections logging mentioned in the report; done means the prompted connection completes without the SSHRemoteAgentHost timeout and useful connection output is available for diagnosis.
