SSH commands result in 1Password GUI authorization prompt on remote machine

My apologies if this is covered by another question but I couldn't find the exact problem I'm having.

I primarily work on a Mac, but I have another developer machine running Ubuntu 22.04. I use SSH for my Github work and all my SSH keys are in 1Password. When I'm working directly at each machine, all is well.

But today I tried to do this:

• On my Mac, open an SSH session on the Ubuntu machine.
• In the SSH session, run a git pull to get the latest code on the Ubuntu machine.
• Expected: my 1Password keys would be forwarded through the agent
• Observed: The 1Password authorization prompt appears on the Ubuntu desktop.

Some details:

• On the Mac, I have SSH_AUTH_SOCK set to $HOME/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock (actually symlinked through $HOME/.1password/agent.sock)
• On the Ubuntu side, I have SSH_AUTH_SOCK set to $HOME/.1password/agent.sock

Am I missing something?

I think I figured it out... I changed my Linux .zshrc so it only sets SSH_AUTH_SOCK if it is NOT in an SSH session:

if [ -z "$SSH_TTY" ] ; then
  # set up SSH_AUTH_SOCK for local session to use 1Password instead of the forwarded SSH agent
