codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Better key authentication on SSH host remote connections on the Desktop and iOS apps

What variant of Codex are you using?

App, Mobile, CLI

What feature would you like to see?

Thank you for your hard work on the remote connections feature, it seems really well thought out! I'm keen to start using it to remote control CLI hosts over ssh from the iOS app, but currently the "Add SSH Host" dialogue seems to only support password authentication. The server I want to connect to strictly has password authentication disabled, which is a very common hardened box setup. It would be nice if the app supported providing an SSH key from the filesystem. This is possible on a lot of ssh client apps on iOS so it should be feasible for the ChatGPT / Codex app too.

Additionally key authentication in the desktop app (for macOS) also doesn't work with keys that have a password attached to them it seems. Perhaps this could be documented as a limitation. How this is handled in other software with remote SSH connections is just prompting the user for the password on disconnect/reconnect, but I understand if that's not a UX flow you want to support.
