Modal Deploy SSH

Create named Modal cloud sessions that you can reach with plain ssh, VS Code Remote-SSH, or any SSH-based tool. Modal containers have no public IP; this skill opens a raw TCP relay to an in-container sshd (unencrypted_ports=[22]) and authorizes your key. SSH encrypts the connection end to end and password auth is disabled, so only key holders get in.

Everything lives in two scripts next to this file. Resolve paths relative to this skill directory (not the user's working directory):

• scripts/modal_ssh_session.py — lifecycle manager (launch / stop / status)
• scripts/session_app.py — the Modal app the manager launches
