Summary

A local code audit found that SSH helpers assume /usr/bin/ssh, which breaks on hosts where a trusted SSH client exists in a platform-specific location, such as Windows OpenSSH.

Affected area

  • src/infra/ssh-config.ts
  • src/infra/ssh-tunnel.ts

Repro

On a Windows host with the built-in OpenSSH client installed in the Windows OpenSSH location, call the SSH config/tunnel helpers. They try /usr/bin/ssh instead of resolving the platform SSH executable.

Expected

SSH helpers should resolve a trusted SSH binary using the repository's system-binary resolution conventions and return a clear diagnostic when none is available.
