Research direction
Start by reading upstream issue ssh2#1206 and the linked Slack context, then locate the gitpod-desktop extension integration responsible for SSH key parsing. Confirm the expected behavior for ecdsa-sk and ed25519-sk keys; the work is done when both formats are accepted by the extension and the relevant checks pass.
