Attempting to install ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers installs anysphere.remote-containers instead

Describe the Bug

Whenever I attempt to install the Dev Containers extension published by Microsoft, the Anysphere version gets installed instead.

Steps to Reproduce

Run cursor --install-extension ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers

Expected Behavior

When installing an extension from a specific publisher, the correct extension should be installed.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

The VSCode dev containers extension is not available in Cursor, so we alias this extension ID to our replacement.
