Could you build this?

Partial While basic SSH client wrappers exist, building a full-featured, secure native terminal emulator with port forwarding and SFTP on iOS/macOS requires deep systems-level POSIX and crypto implementation.

What it would actually take: Requires Swift and C integration utilizing `libssh2` or `OpenSSH`, coupled with a custom virtual terminal emulator (like `libvterm`) supporting complete ANSI/VT100 escape codes and pty management within iOS's sandboxed environment. Handling background connection preservation, secure enclave key storage, and custom port forwarding tunnels demands systems-level network programming.
