Description

I've configured my Ubuntu 24.04 LTS systems' ```/etc/ssh/sshd_config``` file to use ```Banner /etc/issues.net```. This change works when I use the the standard CLI command ```ssh user@remote_system_ip_or_fqdn```, but now when I use WindTerm. I've combed the configuration options within the application and I am unable to find any options like:

- "Show pre-login message" or "Display banner"
- "Quiet mode" (which should be disabled)
- "Skip banner" (which should be disabled)

Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using Ubuntu 24.04 with /etc/ssh/sshd_config configured with Banner /etc/issues.net, comparing WindTerm with ssh user@remote_system_ip_or_fqdn. Start by tracing WindTerm's SSH session handling and banner display behavior; done means the configured pre-login banner appears in WindTerm as it does in the standard CLI client.
