+SSH to n8n failed with too many auth failures despite correct key in config. SSH agent was offering multiple keys before the configured IdentityFile. Fix: added IdentitiesOnly yes to Host wildcard and specific entries in ~/.ssh/config. Lesson: any SSH config host with IdentityFile should also set IdentitiesOnly yes when SSH agent has multiple keys loaded.
