Research direction

Use the shown ssh_config and ssh blue command as the reproduction entry points, focusing on the Windows ControlPath, ControlMaster, and ControlPersist settings. Confirm the muxclient socket(): Unknown error failure and trace the control-master connection path; done means the configuration works without that error on Win32 OpenSSH.
