Research direction
Start by locating the SSH key handling and command-line entry points in sops, then determine how existing passphrase-protected keys are loaded. Confirm the expected ssh-agent behavior and define done as successfully using an already loaded key without prompting for its passphrase, with coverage for the relevant SSH-key flow.
