[tooling] Need to SSH into internal server behind bastion/jump host

Use \`ssh -J user@bastion user@target\` or configure \`Host target\\n ProxyJump bastion\` in ~/.ssh/config; replaces fragile ProxyCommand chains.

Journey Context:
The old method used \`ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p bastion\`, which is verbose, hard to maintain, and breaks with complex auth agents. \`ProxyJump\` \(introduced OpenSSH 7.3\) is a first-class option that handles the connection forwarding natively. It supports multiple jumps \(\`-J jump1,jump2\`\), integrates cleanly with \`ssh-agent\` forwarding, and simplifies configs dramatically. Essential for cloud-native workflows with private subnets.
