major changes
The remote development feature splits the IDE into local and remote components, and the IDE itself is installed on the remote server as a backend service for loading projects. Meanwhile the thin client runs locally and provides a full working UI. These two components are connected via SSH to do the heavy lifting on the remote server, providing a smooth local experience.
