Research direction
Start by reproducing the shown ssh command with OpenSSH_for_Windows 9.5p1 and review how its algorithm negotiation handles the offered ssh-rsa host key and diffie-hellman-group1-sha1. Done should mean the documented legacy connection reaches authentication without weakening unrelated defaults, while preserving the security rationale for disabled algorithms.
