Description
I want to use ttyd or netcat in this environment with a proper PTY to enable fully interactive shell sessions. Currently, without PTY support, remote shells lack features like input echo, line editing, and signal handling.
Is there any way to enable PTY functionality or a workaround to achieve interactive shells with tools like ttyd or netcat?

Research direction
Start by investigating how a-shell currently handles terminal sessions and whether iOS exposes the PTY functionality needed by ttyd or netcat. Determine whether a supported workaround exists; done means documenting or implementing a path to interactive shells with input echo, line editing, and signal handling.
