  • Closed#74411Desktop SSH mode: version-check runs 'python --version <script>' (wrong arg order) → always reports 'Python x.y.z' and falsely claims --ssh-session-token-file/--ssh-owner-nonce are unsupported on up-to-date git/source installs; remoteHermesPath override is also ignored for this check
