Fixed

  • The SSH agent no longer asks for Touch ID over and over while the Mac sits
    idle. Anything that speaks to ssh in the background, an editor's automatic
    fetch above all, signs every couple of minutes on its own, and each of those
    signatures used to be a fresh prompt. One approval now covers further
    signatures from the same program on the same key for five minutes, and the
    window is yours to set under Settings → SSH → Trusted Apps, from every
    signature to eight hours.
  • Two signatures that begin at the same moment share one prompt instead of
    queueing two.
  • A Mac without Touch ID now gets the same approval card as everyone else,
    naming the program that is asking and the key it wants, instead of a bare
    system password box that named neither. Likewise when Touch ID is locked out:
    the card stays on screen and offers your password.
  • An ssh that can't be traced back to a signed identity is no longer condemned
    to a prompt per signature. It rides the approval window too, pinned to that
    exact binary, while permanent trust still requires a signature anchored to
    Apple.
  • An upstream agent that keeps failing to come back is now retried with a
    widening gap rather than on every connection. Each restart is two pass-cli
    runs and two reads of your local key from the Keychain, which on some setups
    is a prompt of its own.

Changed

  • Marking an app trusted now applies to the key you approved rather than to
    every key in your vaults. Entries made before this keep working as they were.
