Description
**Problem:**
We observed an internal user having a large number of orphaned `coder ssh` processes running on their laptop.
This was contributing to increased load on `coderd`.
Our hypothesis is that the user's editor (Cursor) was automatically running a setup script over SSH that invoked `coder ssh` (via `ProxyCommand` in `.ssh/config`) and exiting with an error.
**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Run a new shell and get its PID
```
bash
$ echo $$
12345
```
1. SSH into a workspace and run a long-lived command
```
coder ssh my-workspace sleep infinity
```
1. Validate that the `coder ssh` command is running
```
ps -eo pid,ppid,command | grep [c]oder
12346 12345 coder ssh my-workspace sleep infinity
```
1. Kill the SSH process' parent (the bash shell)
```
kill -9 12345
```
1. Observe the `coder ssh` process still running but now owned by PID 1
```
ps -eo pid,ppid,command | grep [c]oder
12346 1 coder ssh my-workspace sleep infinity
```
