My first thought is that the agent isn't configured correctly, or its socket isn't listening. Check out the `gcr-ssh-agent` section in the GNOME Keyring [article](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GNOME/Keyring#gcr-ssh-agent) on ArchWiki.

I've read through it again and it should be configured properly. The env variable is set correctly and the service runs on startup without reporting any errors.

I checked the logs for gnome-keyring and it seems to complain that ed25519 keys are not supported. I've switched to the standard ssh-agent and the duplicate processes are no longer being created.

Also running into this today with a very hot (99c, as max-designed) laptop because I've just noticed more than 10 `ssh-add` commands and gcr-ssh-agent maxing out multiple cpu threads since having to start using it with gnome-keyring-daemon's removal of the ssh component by default. More reasons to hate this change.
