ssh agent stopped working (MacOS)

hi there, I setup the ssh agent as per guide and was able to login on via ssh on my server.

here is my ~/.ssh/config

Include ~/.colima/ssh_config

Host *
    IdentityAgent "~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock" 

and have left ~/.config/1Password/ssh/agent.toml untouched

[[ssh-keys]]
vault = "Personal"

I added my ssh-ed25519 public key on the server (this was generated by 1Password and are stored in my Personal vault).
I was able to login fine for few times, but now all of a sudden the agent stopped working.
1Password does not prompt any window to authorise the login anymore.
I tried to reboot several times but nothing.

If I ssh-add -l I can see the two fingerprints.

256 SHA256:redacted name (ED25519)
256 SHA256:redacted name (ED25519)

This is the output of ssh -vT user@ip:

    For completeness, here is what I setup on my server:

    set system login user MYUSER authentication public-keys MY@EMAIL type ssh-ed25519
    set system login user MYUSER authentication public-keys MY@EMAIL key 1PASSWORDPUBLICKEY

    I restarted the server and noticed this message:

    debug3: send packet: type 1
    debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1
    debug3: channel 0: status: The following connections are open:
      #0 client-session (t4 r0 i0/0 o0/0 e[write]/0 fd 4/5/6 sock -1 cc -1 io 0x01/0x00)
    

    After restart, I was able to login again using 1password... I guess the server wasn't letting me in because it was seeing an active connection already?

    I also ran into the same issue when attempting to ssh into my vyos server.
