Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to using VSCode for serious development work, so apologies if this is obvious. I've been trying to set up a smooth remote development workflow and hit a wall.

I'm using VSCode on macOS Ventura and recently installed the OpenClaw extension (for some Python refactoring tools) and the official Remote - SSH extension. When I have both enabled and try to connect to my remote Linux server, VSCode either gets incredibly slow (like, typing lag) or the connection fails entirely with a timeout error. If I disable OpenClaw, the SSH connection works perfectly fine and is snappy.

Has anyone run into something similar? I really like some of OpenClaw's features, but I need remote development more. I'm not sure if it's a memory issue or some kind of conflict. My plugin list is pretty short otherwise: Python, Pylance, GitLens, and a theme.

Is there a known fix, or a setting I should check in either extension? Or do I just have to pick one? Any help would be really appreciated, as I'm still figuring out how all these pieces fit together. Thanks!
