Unable to connect to WSL Target

[equalsgibson]

Expectations

After installing Haystack Editor on Windows 11, I should be able to connect the editor to the same WSL Targets that I am successfully able to connect to with VSCode

Reality

After installing the Haystack Editor, the WSL Option is not present as the WSL extension is not installed.

After installing the WSL Extension manually (as per the FAQ), I am presented with a new error that I am unable to resolve:

The terminal output from WSL is below:

Thank you for the incredibly detailed report. Will work on this now.

Could you try redownloading Haystack, uninstalling the current WSL extension, and then downloading the WSL extension from the extension store and retrying this out?

This doesn't help, the error doesn't go anywhere

Sorry for the frustration. I managed to repro on my end and am troubleshooting this now.

[AkshaySG14]

OK this should finally be fixed. Please download the newest version of Haystack (v 0.16) off the website and LMK if this doesn't work!

[AkshaySG14]

Reopened due to an error with installing the extension (v0.88.0).

For any folks in the future who encounter issues with installing 0.88.0, please contact me for help!
