Could you build this?
Partial While an Electron/Tauri desktop UI is easy to generate, implementing a robust, secure local SSH client, terminal emulator, SFTP engine, and encrypted vault without native bugs requires low-level systems programming.
What it would actually take: Requires building a desktop app using Rust (e.g., Tauri) with crates like `russh` or `ssh2`, alongside an encrypted vault using AES-GCM and OS-native keychain integration. The core challenges include robust PTY handling (e.g., via `xterm.js` and portable-pty), cross-platform parsing of legacy configs (PuTTY/WinSCP/SSH), and resilient connection tunneling/multiplexing.
