Zed REPL (almond) seems to hang?

[bishabosha]

I have installed almond for scala 3.3.3 globally following this guide https://almond.sh/docs/install-advanced.html#creating-an-almond-launcher-and-installing-it-newer-launcher

in Zed with the Scala extension when I try to evaluate a line with Zed's built in REPL it permenantly hangs without evaluating anything (I know the kernel works in jupyter-lab), and with jps -mLV I can see the kernel process zed started

Do you think it's related to the metals extension somehow? I know very little here, but I wonder if this is a problem also without this extension?
