Face ID Not Working [Fixed. Please see the approved answer for details.]

Maybe the developer on 1password SSH-agent moved over the iOS team - they love their incessant prompting over there - unless you have their exact workflow, exact device and exact setup (persistent terminal/tmux in ssh case), it is strange this iOS issue still isn't fixed - I suspect there is a reason but they just aren't sharing it due to shame - developer moved on? took a bet on different stack with less native integration? lost the source code?

I regret migrating from keepass-xc at this stage - it the whole 1passwordX vs 1password who-knows-what-but-we'll-get-there-soon mess the other year..
