Release v0.17.0

SSHX - Agent-native remote host execution over SSH

📋 What's Changed

Added

• sshx ros: native MikroTik RouterOS (ROS) support strictly over standard SSH
  (port 22) and SFTP protocols. No ROS API service port (8728/8729) or REST port
  is required. Features include:
  • Command catalog mapping RouterOS paths (ip address, ip firewall, ip route,
    interface, system resource, etc.) with output parsing into structured JSON.
  • raw command execution for arbitrary RouterOS API paths (e.g. sshx ros -h=host raw /system/resource/print)
    with optional --raw flag to bypass output parsing.
  • Safety guardrails: destructive actions (/system/reset-configuration, /system/reboot,
    /certificate/reset, /disk/format) are blocked without --force, and state-altering
    raw mutations are blocked without --allow-write.
  • Client-side dry-run: preview execution plans and mutation flags without connecting.
  • SFTP configuration and file workflows: file upload, file download, file list,
    script put (with --source=@path), backup download (with --cleanup), and
    export download (with --compact and --cleanup).
  • Introspection tools: commands, help, schema, doctor, and explain-error.
  • MCP tool sshx_ros for AI agent integration with expect_plan, dry_run, and
    allow_write guardrails.
