This creates a mapping between the expected vscode remote-ssh extension to the proper remote-ssh extension in cursor. Fixes this:

% brev open gpu_instance cursor                 
finding your instance...
⣟ Instance is ready. Opening Cursor 🤙 
Couldn't install the necessary Cursor extension automatically.
Error: 0 errors occurred:
	
	Please install Cursor and the following Cursor extension: ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh.

Hit enter when finished: █

Previously:

  • The code checks if ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh is installed in Cursor → Not found (because Cursor uses a different ID)
  • Tries to install ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh → Succeeds (the extension gets installed)
  • Checks again for ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh → Still not found (because it's listed as anysphere.remote-ssh)
  • Show error message with "0 errors occurred" (all CLI commands succeeded, but extension appeared missing)
