Hey! I see you've already filed a ticket with Zed. I think this is the correct path.

zed-industries/zed#42873

Checked also on another SSH remote as stated in the comment zed-industries/zed#42873 (comment)
I don't get the same error, but I don't get any checks on grammar and don't see codebook warnings/annotation on non-existant words and typos.

Not sure if any extensions work at all on SSH remotes with Zed, though (the built-in LSPs do work)

Interesting, it looks like Zed uses the SSH connection to connect to WSL as well (https://zed.dev/docs/remote-development). I wonder if this is something Codebook can fix. I've not used the remote development workflow before, and I can imagine there are some assumptions in how Codebook works which break in this environment.

The docs do say that the language servers are run on the remote host, which should make everything work fine. Will need to test. Which built in LSPs are working?
