Could you build this?
Partial Monitoring remote terminal/agent processes over SSH directly to a mobile device requires secure mobile networking, credential management, and resilient SSH tunnel connections on mobile OSs.
What it would actually take: Requires a mobile app (React Native/Flutter/Swift) embedding an SSH library (like libssh2) capable of managing key-based authentication, background socket reconnects, and terminal state parsing. The hard part is managing OS-level mobile background execution limits, secure cross-network tunneling (like Tailscale/WireGuard integration or local port forwarding), and robustly parsing dynamic agent CLI outputs.
