Research direction
The report does not identify a Cinnamon file, test, or entry point. Start by determining whether the persistent SSH credentials come from Cinnamon, GNOME Keyring, or the updated OpenSSH packages, then reproduce the behavior across a reboot using the reported ssh-add and gnome-keyring-daemon commands. Done means identifying the responsible component and documenting or fixing the clearing behavior.
