Running the code for winssh-pageant directly (or running the compiled binary directly) works as expected. E.g. open PuTTY, ssh to host, enter username, 1password pops up.
When running winssh-pageant via the authors recommended way (as a Scheduled Task set to run at Log On), it exhibits the behaviour I orginally posted. I suspect this may be connected to the owning process. This method has the ownership chain of winssh-pageant.exe -> svchost.exe (task scheduler) -> services.exe -> wininit.exe
Running directly links back to the root explorer.exe process (under the same tree as 1password.exe is operating).
Hope that helps. Outside of git usage, ssh key usage via PuTTY is my primary use case.
