A SiriKali user just reported sshfs-win picking ssh.exe executable installed on the system and not the private copy shipping with sshfs-win and this could cause hard to debug issues.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked SiriKali reports and tracing where sshfs-win packages, locates, and invokes its private ssh.exe. No source file or test is named in the issue. Done means the bundled executable no longer collides with a system ssh.exe and all affected references continue to work.
