Description

I can't provide a rust-analyzer version because VSCode won't even attempt to install it. I have VScode 1.98.0 and am using the Remote-SSH feature. When I try to install rust-analyzer to the remote host, it gives me:

Can't install 'rust-lang.rust-analyzer' extension because it is not compatible with the current version of Visual Studio Code (version 1.98.0).

Last week, it was:

Can't install 'rust-lang.rust-analyzer' extension because it is not compatible with the current version of Visual Studio Code (version 1.97.2).

Any ideas here? It works locally fine, just on the remote side it's giving me grief.

Research direction

The report names no repository file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing remote installation with VS Code 1.98.0 and 1.97.2 through Remote-SSH; done means identifying the compatibility failure and confirming that rust-analyzer can install on the remote host or documenting the necessary compatibility constraint.
