feat(ssh)!: redesign command execution tools

Split command execution into run, output, stdin, cancel and list tools for the assistant and MCP. Preserve bounded output tails and use conversation-scoped handles and secret storage with AgentKit 1.20.0.

Add the built-in ssh-exec skill with timestamped log redirection and text/secret stdin workflows. Expand long tool output without adjacent copy controls, update localized presentation, and refresh regression coverage and the website tool name.

BREAKING CHANGE: Replace ssh_exec and ssh_wait with ssh_exec_run and ssh_exec_output. Move stdin to ssh_exec_stdin and remove execution timeout and cwd arguments. Use run_in_background to control foreground execution.

+            # SSH Exec
+
+            Discover an unknown host_id with list_hosts. Termind handles SSH login; request_user_secret
+            is only for command input, never a prerequisite for connecting.
+
+            ## Choose execution mode
+
+            - For a short command that needs no input, use ssh_exec_run(host_id, command).
+              run_in_background defaults to false: it waits for completion and closes stdin.
+            - For a long-lived command or any command needing input, set run_in_background=true from
+              the start. It returns a handle after startup is confirmed; startup is not completion.
+              Do not wait for a foreground command that cannot finish until you send input.
+            - There is no execution timeout, cwd parameter or PTY. Use `cd '/path' && command` when
+              needed. A program requiring /dev/tty will not work through stdin; use a supported
+              non-PTY mode or let the user interact in their terminal rather than retrying blindly.
+              Foreground interjection can hand execution to background but cannot reopen closed stdin.
+
+            ## Plan output before running: use > for verbose commands
+
+            ssh_exec_output(handle) returns an immediate, cumulative snapshot, not a new-output cursor.
+            Each stream keeps only its latest 256 KiB, prefixed with `[N chars were truncated]` when
+            older output was discarded. Re-reading cannot recover it. For builds, long logs or output
+            that must remain complete, choose an authorized remote log path before starting.
+            Use shell command substitution to generate a timestamped path, print it, then redirect:
+
+            ```sh
+            log="/tmp/task-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).log"
+            printf 'Log: %s\\n' "$log"
+            command > "$log" 2>&1
+            ```
+
+            To keep stdout data and stderr diagnostics separate:
+
+            ```sh
+            base="/tmp/task-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
+            printf 'Stdout: %s.out\\nStderr: %s.err\\n' "$base" "$base"
+            command > "$base.out" 2> "$base.err"
+            ```
+
+            - Run each block in a single ssh_exec_run call. Shell variables do not persist between calls.
+              Reuse the printed path for later reads; do not run date again to reconstruct it.
+            - `>` creates or truncates; `>>` appends. Use a new task-specific path or confirm overwriting
+              existing data. Quote paths. `2>&1` must follow `>` to capture both streams in that file.
+            - Redirection runs on the remote host and does not background the command. Use
+              run_in_background=true for long-running work; do not add shell `&` merely to return early.
+              Keep the command handle to check its status even when stdout and stderr are redirected.
+
+            Inspect a bounded slice with `tail -n 100` using the printed path, or read selected ranges with
+            sftp_read(host_id, path, offset, limit). Follow its next_offset for another page; one response
+            is not necessarily the whole file. Do not dump a large log back with cat, tail -f, or tee.
+            Report the remote log path so the user can retrieve the full artifact through SFTP.
+            For input-driven commands, keep needed prompts visible: they may be on stderr, and redirecting
+            both streams can hide them. Never log secrets; redirection does not sanitize command output.
+
+            ## stdin workflow
+
+            1. Start the intended consumer with ssh_exec_run(..., run_in_background=true). Keep its
+               returned handle; do not start another copy just to supply input.
+            2. Use ssh_exec_output(handle) to inspect stdout, stderr, status and stdin_closed. A running
+               status alone does not prove the program is waiting for input. Follow its actual protocol
+               or prompt; a pipe consumer may need data immediately without printing a prompt.
+            3. Send input with ssh_exec_stdin using the same handle. Choose the text or secret flow
+               below. Omit the unused payload field or set it to null. Writes are serialized; await each
+               result before sending the next chunk or a newline.
+            4. Send type="eof" with neither payload only when all input is complete and the consumer
+               should see end-of-stream. EOF is not Enter. Do not send it after every interactive reply.
+               Repeated EOF is harmless, but later writes fail and stdin cannot be reopened.
+            5. Read output again and check the outcome. Do independent work between snapshots rather
+               than tight polling. Nonzero exit_code is a command result; status=failed and error mean
+               infrastructure failure. bytes_written confirms bytes handed to SSH, not remote acceptance.
+               If a write fails or its outcome is uncertain, inspect state before deciding what to do;
+               never automatically resend data, a secret or the whole command.
+
+            ### Text input
+
+            type="text" requires only stdin. Text is sent exactly as supplied: include a newline when
+            the program expects a line. An empty string writes zero bytes; it does not close stdin.
+            Example for non-secret content: use this shell block as COMMAND, after choosing an authorized
+            destination. It prints the actual timestamped path before waiting for input:
+
+            ```sh
+            input="/tmp/input-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S).txt"
+            printf 'File: %s\\n' "$input"
+            cat > "$input"
+            ```
+
+            ```
+            ssh_exec_run(host_id=HOST, command=COMMAND, run_in_background=true)
+            ssh_exec_stdin(handle=H, type="text", stdin="first line\\nsecond line\\n")
+            ssh_exec_stdin(handle=H, type="eof")
+            ssh_exec_output(handle=H)
+            ```
+
+            HOST is the chosen host_id; H is the handle returned by that run. The consumer may remain
+            running until EOF. Text stdin is still visible tool data: never send plaintext secrets this way.
+
+            ### Secret input
+
+            - First establish the authorized host, receiving command and purpose. If user instructions
+              do not cover that scope, ask for confirmation (request_user_input when available).
+              Name the same destination and use in the request_user_secret prompt and purpose.
+            - When the command actually needs the secret, request it through request_user_secret.
+              Send the returned secret_handle with ssh_exec_stdin(handle=H, type="secret",
+              secret_handle=S). Omit stdin or set it to null. H and S are different kinds of handle.
+            - Secret input also adds no newline. If the protocol needs Enter and the secret did not
+              include it, send type="text", stdin="\\n" after the secret write succeeds. Close with EOF
+              only if the consumer expects no more input; otherwise leave stdin open for later prompts.
+            - A secret handle is single-use; do not replay it. Plaintext is intentionally hidden from
+              arguments, review and tool results. Review the command's actual effects, including echoing,
+              storing or forwarding. A handle alone does not authorize another recipient or purpose.
+              Never put secrets in commands, ordinary chat, text stdin or log files.
+
+            ## Finish and recover
+
+            ssh_exec_list(host_id?, include_finished=false) finds commands in this conversation.
+            Handles survive turns, not app restarts, and cannot cross conversations or MCP sessions.
+            Finished results remain ten minutes from completion; reads do not extend retention.
+            Read needed output before ssh_exec_cancel(handle). Cancel retires the local task/handle;
+            it does not send TERM/KILL or prove the remote process stopped. Check the host separately
+            before claiming termination or starting a replacement command.
+
+            Approval and Plan-mode restrictions still apply. On modern MCP, retain operation_handle
+            for related calls; it is separate from the command handle.
