Description

Using Quarto through a Remote Tunnel in VS Code almost works great, but the preview functionality fails to load because it opens an inline browser window to http://localhost:TEMP_PORT, and that port isn't forwarded over the tunnel.

The Remote Tunnel infrastructure provides extensive support for forwarding ports automatically, to the extent that you generally have to opt out of having that happen: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/115616 - so I'm not sure why that isn't happening here.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing Quarto preview through a VS Code Remote Tunnel and investigate how the inline browser's localhost port interacts with Remote Tunnel port forwarding; done means the preview loads successfully over the tunnel.
