/**
* SSH ControlMaster Remote Execution
*
* Like the ssh.ts example but uses a persistent ControlMaster socket so all
* tool calls (read, write, edit, bash) multiplex over a single SSH connection
* instead of opening a new one each time. Much faster on slow links or when
* pi makes many small file reads in sequence.
*
* Usage:
* pi -e ~/.pi/agent/extensions/ssh-controlmaster.ts --ssh user@host
* pi -e ~/.pi/agent/extensions/ssh-controlmaster.ts --ssh user@host:/remote/path
*
* Or, once installed globally, just:
* pi --ssh user@host
*
* Requirements:
* - SSH key-based auth (no password prompts)
* - bash on the remote machine
