Implement Real-Time SSH Command Output Streaming #3

Description

Overview

Currently, the SSH command execution waits for the entire command to complete before returning the output. This can be problematic for long-running commands or when real-time feedback is needed. We need to implement streaming output functionality for remote SSH command execution.

Current Implementation

The current implementation in SSHManager.execute():

  • Uses Paramiko's exec_command()
  • Waits for command completion
  • Returns complete output as a single string
  • No progress visibility during execution

Proposed Changes

  1. Core SSH Manager Updates

    • Modify execute() to support streaming mode
    • Implement generator-based output streaming
    • Add buffer size configuration
    • Handle both stdout and stderr streams
  2. API Changes

    • Add streaming parameter to RemoteShellInput
    • Update return type to support both string and generator modes
    • Implement progress callbacks
    • Add timeout configuration
  3. UI/UX Improvements

    • Real-time output display in terminal
    • Progress indication for long-running commands
    • Color-coded output (stdout vs stderr)
    • Support for command interruption
  4. Langchain Integration

    • Update HyperbolicTool to support streaming outputs
    • Implement Langchain streaming callbacks
    • Integrate with Langchain's streaming interfaces
    • Support async execution in Langchain agent
    • Add streaming support to HyperbolicAgentkitWrapper

Success Criteria

  • Real-time output streaming for remote commands
  • Minimal latency between command execution and output display
  • Proper error handling and status reporting
  • Backward compatibility with existing code
  • Documentation for new streaming features

Testing Requirements

  1. Unit Tests

    • Test streaming functionality
    • Verify error handling
    • Check timeout behavior
    • Test large output handling
  2. Integration Tests

    • Test with various command types
    • Verify real-world performance
    • Test interruption handling
