Additional information

Something that concerns me is how you would communicate this to users, that is, that their phone won't suspend due to that an ssh connection is open. Maybe we don't need to? I don't think any OS tells the user it won't suspend the device if it's playing music, for example.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
