Description
When attempting to copy the ssh key to remote host it fails due to the fact that the remote host is using fish and it doesn’t support the && operator. There doesn’t appear to be an alternate way to manually copy the ssh key.

Research direction
The issue names ssh-copy-id and fish but no file or test. Reproduce key copying against a remote fish shell, trace the relevant command entry point, and compare it with a POSIX shell; done means the key-copy flow works without relying on fish's unsupported && operator.
