Use XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for agent.sock

Most distributions now should have good support for using the XDG directory specs, and 1Password successfully does this already for the browser integration.

`$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/1Password-BrowserSupport.sock`

In 2025, can we please finally get support for the SSH agent socket to use XDG_RUNTIME_DIR as well?

The previous post on this was 4 years ago.

    Hi ragectl​ ,

    Thanks for sharing this as well. I reached out internally and they are going to look into it.  I don't have an ETA, but will respond here when I hear more.

    Cheers,
    Phil

      Thanks, Phil. Do you know if there’s any update or timeline yet for adding XDG_RUNTIME_DIR support to the SSH agent socket?
