VSCodium can't find SSH keys

[ThatBlockyPenguin]

Trying to connect to a server using this extension causes this error:

[Info  - 23:53:44.544] Resolving ssh remote authority 'ssh-remote+penguinserver' (attemp #1)
[Trace  - 23:53:44.577] Identity keys:
None
[Info  - 23:53:44.739] Trying no-auth authentication
[Error  - 23:53:44.797] Error resolving authority
Error: All configured authentication methods failed

Whereas if I SSH into it normally (via terminal command), it works like a charm.

I am also having this issue, running on apple M2 with macOS 15.0

when I launch vscodium from a bash shell, the issue goes away.

when I launch vscodium from a bash shell with SSH_AUTH_SOCK unset, the issue comes back.

edit: with no SSH_AUTH_SOCK, it says Identity keys: None, but it also says Couldn't get identities from OpenSSH Agent and Error: SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable not defined.

note: if you don't "quit" vscodium you can't change its environment variables using foo=bar open -a vscodium.
