Signing git commits fails

I have set up 1Password to be my SSH agent. I've followed this guide to also sign my commits with my SSH instead of my GPG key. However, I get:

$ git commit -m "chore: evaluate up to order 32"
error: agent returned an error

fatal: failed to write commit object

Re-running the command with GIT_TRACE=1 gives some more detail:

$ GIT_TRACE=1 git commit -m "chore: evaluate up to order 32"

I've followed the troubleshooting instructions in the linked article and everything looks like it should, i.e. I don't have local overrides of the signing options. This is how the relevant parts of my Git configuration (stored in .config/git/config) looks like:

[gpg]
    format = "ssh"

[gpg "ssh"]
    program = "/nix/store/60nj3ab2lcvw1pfm49dywmr922mk1kxk-1password-8.10.0/share/1password/op-ssh-sign"

[commit]
    gpgSign = true

[tag]
    gpgSign = true

[user]
    signingkey = "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIODV5S21+jV0900ubPoYvdHol/xfbJjVhxayuMEFuPKo"

I'm running on NixOS and this file is generated by home-manager.
