Research direction

Start at the stack ssh subcommand entry point and reproduce the current terminal behavior when connecting and reconnecting to a stack. Trace where the console is cleared or replaced; done means an SSH connection starts inline while preserving existing terminal backscroll.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When SSH'ing into a stack, the current console backscroll is replaced wholesale. This makes it frustrating to work in a session on and off, as your prior commands are constantly removed from view when you reconnect, and you need to copy any output to a safe place before starting fresh.

VIP's CLI starts inline without replacing what came before, and I find that an overwhelmingly more usable experience.

I'd like to suggest we alter the ssh subcommand to not clear the terminal on connection, if possible.
