netssh multi opens one pane per host in a tmux window or zellij tab.
Hosts come from names, tag:TAG (NetBox and static hosts), cluster:NAME
(NetBox virtualization clusters; devices by default, --kind vm|all),
and groups from the config (@name, nested, with cycle detection).
Every pane runs netssh HOST, so lookup, rules, and jump hosts apply.
- tmux: a new window inside tmux, else a new session that is attached;
tiled layout, pane borders with the host and a [SYNC] marker.
- zellij: a generated grid layout; a new tab inside zellij, else a new
session.
- --sync broadcasts typing to all panes; netssh sync toggles it in the
current tmux window or zellij tab.
- TUI: Space marks hosts, Ctrl+A marks all, Enter opens them together.
- Configurator: multiplexer, panes per window, groups.
NetBox SearchAll gains a cluster filter (name to cluster IDs per
instance), and cache entries keep the host's cluster for completion
and an offline fallback. Panes skip the 24-hour background refresh
(checked once by multi) and get HOME/XDG paths but no NETSSH_* values,
which would expose tokens in the process list.
testenv/tests/15-multi.sh checks real tmux and zellij sessions,
including a broadcast command arriving on all three cluster nodes.

testenv/ starts two real NetBox 4.7 instances (v2 and v1 token), SSH
targets on public, mgmt, and prod networks, a jump host, an IPv6-only
host, a static host, and a client with ssh, sftp, scp, tmux, zellij,
bash, zsh, and fish. A seed script fills NetBox through the REST API.
141 end-to-end checks cover cache and refresh filters, connecting,
all resolver strategies, multiple instances, shortcuts and rewrites,
SSH options and rules, static hosts, sftp/scp incl. IPv6 and jump
hosts, tunnels, local notes and NetBox comments, completion and shell
hooks, the TUI (driven through tmux), the configurator, and uninstall.
Local only: testenv/up.sh, test.sh, shell.sh, down.sh. Not part of
CI/CD.
