Why SSH Drops Break Deep Work

SSH drops do more than interrupt a connection. They reset sessions, lose output, and force you to rebuild context.

The hidden cost

• you rerun commands,
• you lose the timeline of output,
• you second-guess what already completed.

The real fix

Continuity must live in the workspace, not in the socket. When the session persists and output is replayed, a reconnect is just a resume.
