Description

Currently, UssCmd.issueCommand() establishes a new SSH session for every USS command. While this provides a simple connection lifecycle, repeatedly establishing and authenticating an SSH connection can introduce unnecessary overhead when applications need to execute multiple USS commands against the same z/OS system.

Add an optional persistent SSH session mode that allows callers to reuse an authenticated SSH session across multiple issueCommand() calls.

Research direction

Start by reading UssCmd.issueCommand() to understand how each command creates and authenticates its SSH session. Define the opt-in session lifecycle and verify that repeated calls can reuse the authenticated session while callers can still use the existing per-command behavior.
