Research direction

Reproduce the reported sudo su command through node-ssh on an EC2 Linux host and inspect the repository's command or shell execution entry point. Compare the remote session's user before and after the command; done means the command reliably switches to root or the issue documents the required execution behavior and a regression test covers it.
