Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
On Linux, you can use something like tmux to keep a long lived session, but the equivalent doesn't exist on Windows.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
I think how this could work as a new exe for a sshd subsystem that can connect to a registered PowerShell session (either create a new one or connect to existing one). The PowerShell process would have to be decoupled from the sshd created job object and we would probably also need configuration for life of the session so it's not kept up perpetually.

Research direction
Start with the sshd subsystem and Windows job-object/session lifecycle described in the issue. Determine how a new executable could register or reconnect to PowerShell sessions and how session lifetime configuration should work. Done means a decided design and implementation path for surviving disconnects; no files or tests are named in the issue.
