twislaandClaude Opus 5.5 6b71aace4f SSH client: a terminal on another machine (#2) ...

The SSH App opens one session to a shell, over libssh (LibSSH-ESP32 5.10.0)
on mbedTLS. A server is trusted the first time on its fingerprint, and a
changed key is a warning with Cancel selected. The password is typed each
time and kept nowhere; or the device makes itself an Ed25519 key, whose
public half is shown, written to /ssh/id_ed25519.pub and printed by
`ssh status`.

lib/term is the terminal: what a shell, less, top, nano and vim send, with
sixteen colours, scroll regions, the alternate screen and 100 lines of
scrollback. Five text sizes with Ctrl and + or -, from 60x20 to 26x8, told
to the far end. The session goes on when the App is left; SSH shows in the
Status Bar. `ssh user@host` in the Shell opens the App.

Also:
- Keys that aren't characters carry Shift, Ctrl and Alt. The terminal needs
  it, and it makes Ctrl+Fn+up/down in a note and Shift+Tab in Gemini work
  from the real keyboard.
- IRC doesn't try to connect under 60 KB free: started with a session open,
  its TLS handshake took the heap down to 236 bytes.
- libssh's own curve25519 is left out of the build (scripts/libssh_filter.py):
  libsodium's has the same names.

Costs 292 KB of flash and about 50 KB of heap while a session is open; not
started under 75 KB free.

Docs: guide page, how-to, FAQ, home page, Status Bar, SD card folders, the
memory how-to, README, glossary, N1 notes with Q254 to Q266 and the checks.
