Description:  
The dev container feature over SSH stopped working after a Cursor restart, despite functioning normally 2-3 days ago. The container initialization process gets stuck while downloading the VS Code server.

Important Note:

- This issue appears to be Cursor-specific, as the same dev container works properly in VSCode
- Using MacBook Pro 2020 (Intel) as client machine
- Server is running on ARM architecture

Current Behavior:

- Dev container fails to initialize
- VS Code server download process hangs indefinitely
- Issue occurs specifically on ARM64 architecture

Error Log:  
[7584 ms] Exit code 1  
[7585 ms]  
Support for ARM64 is in preview.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Restart Cursor
2. Attempt to open a dev container via SSH
3. Observe VS Code server download getting stuck

Environment:

- Client: MacBook Pro 2020 (Intel)
- Server: ARM64 architecture
- Feature: Dev Container over SSH
