Description

I'm not able to use autossh as the ssh binary.

[08:03:18.913] Checking ssh with "/opt/homebrew/bin/autossh -V"
[08:03:18.920] stdout> autossh 1.4g

[08:03:18.920] ssh output did not match /OpenSSH/
[08:03:18.920] The specified path /opt/homebrew/bin/autossh is not a valid SSH binary

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported check with /opt/homebrew/bin/autossh -V and trace the SSH binary validation that rejects output without “OpenSSH”. Done means autossh is accepted as a usable SSH binary while preserving validation for invalid paths.
