What did you do?

I'm unclear what sequence of steps exactly led to the remote instance of getting into such a state, but opening the Hugo project using -remote causes errors like the following in the forwarded log:

Params: {"type":1,"message":"2020/04/21 09:20:39 no dep handle: no metadata for golang.org/x/text/runes\n\tpackage=\"golang.org/x/text/runes\""}

This manifests in lots of import-related and derivative errors in diagnostics.

If I do not use -remote, then there are no diagnostics returned.

What did you expect to see?

No diagnostic errors when using -remote

What did you see instead?

As above. The full forwarder gopls log is: gopls_20200421_0920_37_997036168.log
