Description

For the node 'Unix SSH: Execute Bash' when regex is used to read the command response and then inject stdin in response to that output, it auto adds a newline to emulate pressing 'Enter' on the keyboard. This only appears to be the default action for 'Unix ...' nodes.

Notably, the Cisco SSH: Execute Command node would benefit from this change.

Research direction

Start with the Unix SSH: Execute Bash node's regex-response stdin handling and compare it with the Cisco SSH: Execute Command node. Confirm how the automatic newline is applied, then verify that remote connection nodes use the same behavior when injecting stdin after a regex match.
