Description
When a remote project is selected over tramp, cargo commands (M-x rust-run-clippy, rust-run, etc.) try to find the project root on the host instead of the remote, making them unusable over tramp.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a Rust project selected over TRAMP and the M-x rust-run-clippy and rust-run commands. Trace how these commands locate the project root, then verify that the root and cargo operations retain the remote prefix. Done means the listed cargo commands work against the remote project rather than the local host.
