The CLI accepts a remote command after --, but those arguments are not local OpenSSH options. Document that distinction so users do not expect railway ssh -- -L ... -N to create a local port-forward, and clarify that SSH targets the running service instance rather than a specific source type. Constraint: Central Station question asks whether railway ssh supports image-based services and local tunnel flags Rejected: Add CLI port-forwarding support | broader behavior change outside this docs bounty-sized fix Confidence: medium Scope-risk: narrow Directive: Keep this doc aligned with src/commands/ssh/native.rs argument ordering in the CLI Tested: git diff --check; pnpm exec content-collections build Not-tested: live Railway SSH session
