Description

I think that this is more in keeping with the way that Expect is usually used. In other words, issue the first command and wait for either the expected response or a timeout. Return either the response or an error. Not sure of the proper response, maybe just normal or error with the ability to then read back the response text buffer.

Then, instead of just blindly throwing the Action at the stream, another Invoke-SSHStreamExpect could be done for the next command.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Invoke-SSHStreamExpect entry point and how it currently handles the command, expected response, timeout, and Action. Define the response or error behavior and how response text remains readable for a later invocation. Done means separate invocations can issue and await commands without requiring an Action, but no files or tests are identified in the issue.
