The channel is entirely encrypted between your ssh client and when the
SSH server decodes it to hand to local programs.

Really, it can't. Nothing can do this, since any server of any kind
eventually has to do *something* with the data to be able to use it. If
you need that level of data security, you need to think about what the
data is for and what damage can be done with it.
