What's a simple, lightweight IDE that I can use to inspect my code while CC runs? I don't need much functionality at all - but I do need Remote Access since most of my work is in a remote cluster.

The IDE just lets me 'read only' my code and double check things, while all my changes are through Claude's interface.

Zed is what you’re looking for - https://zed.dev/

Super lightweight and a joy to use. Unsure on the remote access part though.
