Research direction
Start by reproducing ssh -fN -L 7005:remotehost:3389 jumphost on Windows 10 with OpenSSH_for_Windows 9.5p1, then inspect the client code and existing tests for -f and port forwarding. Done means the client backgrounds after establishing the tunnel and keeps the forwarding session open.
