I am not sure I "solved" this but when I add this to my startup script for my terminal (~/.zshrc):
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-agent-$USER-socket
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
it works then. I am not sure I'm still using the ssh agent, but at least it also does not cache my passphrase.

it works then. I am not sure I'm still using the ssh agent, but at least it also does not cache my passphrase (or private key in ram)
I searched. When I change this variable (path), it works. So in the startup script for my terminal (~/.zshrc) I added this:
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-agent-$USER-socket
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
Now it works, but I'm not sure why. Anything BUT /run/user/1000/gcr/ssh works I think
reboot makes no difference. A new terminal gives the symptoms from the start.
I think I found a bad workaround. If I add this script to ~/.zshrc (because I'm not using bash but zsh)
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-agent-$USER-socket
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
if [ ! -S "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" ]; then
eval $(ssh-agent -a "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK")
fi
then it works. But I think I'm still using the ssh agent which I actually should not be using. At least it's asking for the passphrase every time, which is nice. Even in the same terminal after ssh logout.
EDIT: The first two lines do the trick as well:
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-agent-$USER-socket
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
EDIT: If I change this SSH_AUTH_SOCK to ANYTHING else, it also works.
So /run/user/1000/gcr/ssh does not work. I gave ample permission to this file, so that cannot be the problem. Perhaps BECAUSE this is a file. I think the SSH_AUTH_SOCK should point to a nonexisting file because then it makes temporarily a special file that it needs. Ok I'm just shooting in the dark.

yeah I copied the permissions as shown, makes no difference. Maybe the ownership is wrong? Both group and owner is me
dir does not exist on either side.
yeah I barely changed anything. Just disabled password and changed port AFAIK.

All before issuing the ssh-agent
I didn't really follow the former part, but I can give you this:
strace -o logfile -f ssh -p 8322 pi@192.168.2.223 of when I get blank
I am not sure I "solved" this but when I add this to my startup script for my terminal (~/.zshrc):
it works then. I am not sure I'm still using the ssh agent, but at least it also does not cache my passphrase/private key
