Getting SSH Agent to work with IntelliJ

I've been checking out the SSH Agent functionality on Windows, and have to say it's pretty cool!

That being said, I've not been able to get it working with IntelliJ both for Git and remote connections. I've created an issue on the JetBrains issue tracker which has all the information, including logs: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-290550

Currently it seems that there are issues on the IDE side that need to be resolved there, but I also don't know a lot about the innerworkings of SSH and agents, so wanted to open this to kick off some collaboration.

One thing I find odd is that the SSH client compatibility page lists JetBrains products as supported for Git (https://developer.1password.com/docs/ssh/agent/compatibility#jetbrains-ide) but that's not what I've found, and it sounds like that might not currently be possible as the IDE's ssh.exe doesn't support ssh_askpass (but again, I'm nowhere near an expert with this so I could have bungled something up).

(note that I'm currently on the nightly channel, as I couldn't get the SSH Agent to work on other channels)

    Is there anything showing in the 1Password logs when you run your Git/SSH command? On Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%/1Password/logs.

    And about SSH_ASKPASS: that does not play any role when using the 1Password agent, so that should not be the issue.
