…nto sandbox via Remote SSH' (#1) from feat/devbox-code into main Reviewed-on: https://git.giomni.com/ethan/devbox/pulls/1
The path must be a separate argument, not concatenated with the host. `code --remote ssh-remote+HOST /path` instead of `--remote=ssh-remote+HOST/path`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Lima outputs `Host lima-devbox-<name>` but VS Code connects to `devbox-<name>`. The mismatch caused "Could not resolve hostname" errors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
NixOS can't run dynamically linked executables out of the box. programs.nix-ld provides the ld-linux shim so VS Code Remote SSH, Cursor, and similar tools can download and run their server binaries. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…handles Host-side changes cause stale inodes in the overlay cache. Refreshing before launching VS Code/Cursor ensures a clean view of the workspace. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
