      "Prerequisite: The Container must be running, SSH must be configured, and a matching public key must be in `authorized_keys`.",
      "Docs conflict: The current Wrangler command reference documents `containers ssh` and remote commands but does not list `--tty` or `-t`; the release note for v4.144.0 documents the flag. No differing behavior is documented."

  "before": "For a remote command such as `bash`, SSH did not allocate a pseudo-terminal by default; the release note says to pass `--tty` to force one.",
