agree in principle, but i will split some hairs here. if you type "ls" into your local terminal, there's an implicit agreement that it will run the remote "ls" program. the helper program facilitates that in the same way that any other terminal + ssh + shell combo does. it only runs commands in response to your activities in the terminal.

Oh so we're holding it wrong. Does 'modern' mean pre-enshittified?

yes

if ls is installed on the remote host

and if it is not, the command should fail

this appears to be about telemetry, pure and simple

absolutely no telemetry in the helper, full stop. you can inspect the code yourself.

we do hear the feedback though and are working on a popup/notification that will prompt you before we push the helper program for the next release.
