🎉 What's New in v3.5.1

Robust SSH ping health-check on Windows/OpenSSH (Released: May 26, 2026)

🪟 Healthy Windows sessions are no longer reported as Dead (#39 — thanks @username77)

ssh_connection_status ran echo "ping" and compared the output with a strict === 'ping'. On cmd.exe the surrounding quotes are echoed literally (output "ping"), so the check failed and a live pooled connection was torn down and rebuilt for nothing.
The probe now runs echo ping (no quotes) — a bare ping across bash, cmd.exe and PowerShell — fixing the root cause rather than only the symptom.
Output parsing moved to an exported, null-safe isPingAlive(stdout) helper (CRLF / quote / case-normalized). includes('ping') is intentional: a liveness probe should err toward "alive". New tests/test-ssh-ping.js is wired into npm test. Validated against a real Windows/OpenSSH host.

Previous Releases

v3.5.0 - Per-server security modes — readonly / restricted + audit log (May 18, 2026)

A second authorization layer that filters tool invocations inside the MCP server, complementing the existing client-side autoApprove. Useful when sharing the MCP with a third-party agent, a CI bot, or any client where ssh_execute shouldn't be unconditionally trusted.

🔒 Three modes, opt-in per server (no MODE field = identical to v3.4.x):

unrestricted (default) — strict no-op. evaluatePolicy() early-returns on the first line, zero overhead.
readonly — blocks mutating tools (ssh_upload, ssh_deploy, ssh_sync, ssh_execute_sudo, ssh_backup_*, ssh_db_import/dump, plus action-gated ssh_key_manage accept|remove, ssh_alert_setup set, ssh_process_manager kill) AND applies a built-in denylist on ssh_execute (rm, mv, dd, mkfs, chmod, chown, sudo, systemctl restart/stop, docker rm/stop, pipe-to-sh, redirect outside /tmp, curl|sh, etc.).
restricted — every command must match at least one ALLOW_PATTERNS regex AND no DENY_PATTERNS regex. DENY wins. With no ALLOW_PATTERNS everything is refused (fail-closed).

📝 Audit log — opt-in JSONL per server (SSH_SERVER_<N>_AUDIT_LOG=/path/to/audit.jsonl). Records ts, server, tool, args, allowed, reason on denial, exitCode/success on execution. Sensitive arg fields (password, passphrase, sudoPassword, token, secret, `
