Add port forwarding: local, remote and dynamic, per terminal session
A host can now carry port forwards (-L, -R, -D), saved inside its encrypted payload as RelayTicketRequest.PortForwardId already assumed, so they sync and merge per forward like tags and pinned paths. The host schema moves to version 8 only for hosts that carry forwards. ISshConnection gains StartForwardAsync over SSH.NET's forwarded ports. Every listener binds loopback and there is no bind-address field: a forward is something any member of a shared keychain can edit. A remote forward's target is resolved here, IPv4 first, rather than by SSH.NET's constructor, which takes the first DNS answer and can send ::1. Forwards start with every terminal opened to the host and stop with its connection; a reconnect starts them again. The session sidebar lists them with state, failure reason and an on/off switch, the status bar counts the listening ones, and the host editor and detail pane gain a PORT FORWARDS section. A forward that cannot start fails alone. The phone does not start forwards yet: it has no surface showing what is listening, and its More screen now says so. No byte counts, since SSH.NET keeps none.

### Forwarding ports
|
||||
|
||||
A host can carry **port forwards**, added under PORT FORWARDS in its editor, in the three kinds OpenSSH has:
|
||||
**local** (`-L`, a port here reaching a machine the remote can see), **remote** (`-R`, a port on the remote
|
||||
reaching back to one this machine can see) and **dynamic** (`-D`, a SOCKS proxy here whose connections leave
|
||||
from the remote). They are saved in the host's encrypted payload, so they sync, merge and are shared with the
|
||||
host, and they start with every terminal opened to it. The session sidebar lists them under FORWARDS with the
|
||||
state of each, and the status bar counts the ones listening.
|
||||
|
||||
Three things about them are worth expecting rather than discovering.
|
||||
|
||||
**Everything listens on localhost, and there is no setting for it.** A forward is a field any member of a
|
||||
shared keychain can fill in, and one bound to every interface would hand the remote's network to anybody who
|
||||
can reach your machine for as long as the terminal is open. A remote forward asks the remote for its loopback
|
||||
too; whether the remote honours that is its own `GatewayPorts`.
|
||||
|
||||
**A forward lives as long as its terminal.** It runs over that tab's connection, so closing the tab, losing
|
||||
the connection or reconnecting stops it — a reconnect starts the host's forwards again on the new session. A
|
||||
second tab to the same host runs the same forwards, and they fail there because the ports are taken; the row
|
||||
says so, and the terminal is unaffected. Any row can be switched off and on while its session is up.
|
||||
|
||||
**No byte counts**, which the design draws: SSH.NET keeps none, so a number there would be invented. The
|
||||
phone does not start forwards yet, because it has nowhere to show you they are running; its More screen says
|
||||
so.
