In #3093, @JoaoBoechat made the Q# extension run its extension host on the workspace side (Node.js) by default, enabling proper remote development in WSL, SSH, Codespaces, and Dev Containers. Previously, the extension host always ran on the UI side (browser), which caused issues in remote scenarios.
With that change landed, developers can now actually debug the extension in remote environments — but launch.shared.json only had configurations for local desktop and web mode, so there was no easy way to F5 into WSL or Codespaces.
Launch configurations:
For WSL and Codespaces: on first launch, install the required remote extension in the dev profile when prompted, then relaunch.
