Description
"OpenSSH for Windows" version
7.7.2.3
Server OperatingSystem
Windows 10 Enterprise
Client OperatingSystem
Windows 10 Enterprise
What is failing
-y option of ssh.exe does nothing (even with -vvv)
Expected output
Messages sent to syslog (localhost UDP port 514)
Actual output
No messages sent to syslog
Details
I've tried running multiple local syslog servers and confirmed they can see syslog messages sent from other clients. But when I use ssh.exe with the -y option, no syslog messages get sent, even at the most verbose level (-vvv). Is there a known gap here?

Research direction
Reproduce the report on Windows 10 with ssh.exe using -y and -vvv, while monitoring a local syslog server on UDP port 514. The issue names no source file or test; done means confirming that SSH emits the expected messages to syslog, or documenting the limitation if it cannot.
