I reported JENKINS-46754 - 2.73.1 RC agent won't start if using ed25519 passphrase protected key <https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-46754> and have explored it further.
The bug is unrelated to the remoting version. The change which Oliver made (at my request) to switch from remoting 3.11 to remoting 3.10 did not change the behavior of that bug. I recommend we return the 2.73.1 LTS to remoting 3.11. My initial testing was with remoting 3.11, and the issue I detected (JENKINS-46754) was only with ed25519 passphrase protected private keys on two of my machines (but not on the other four tested machines). Agents started with rsa private keys (with or without passphrase) and DSA private keys (with or without passphrase) are unaffected. Agents started with ed25519 private keys successfully on 4 of my 6 configurations. I still don't understand the root of the behavioral differences noted in JENKINS-46574. Hours and hours of testing on multiple platforms with many different test cases has not shown any new or unexpected issues beyond the ed25519 inconsistency that I've been studying. Those machines which show the inconsistency also show a JGit clone failure when using an ed25519 private key to access the repository. That seems (to me) to point to a difference in a library version, but I can't explain why only 2 of the 6 tested machines behave that way.
