Streamline service commands with auto-close functionality

- Remove header text from start/stop commands for cleaner output
- Add automatic log termination when service reaches target state
- Start command auto-closes when service becomes active
- Stop command auto-closes when service becomes inactive
- Simplify SSH command structure by removing bash -c wrapper
- Version bump to 0.1.85
