I haven’t too much idea but If you haven’t checked then I provide the reference documentation so it will be helpful for you.

Thank You!

To whoever has this question, too (I just stumbled apon this problem):
Frappecloud is using ssh with certificate-based authentication, which was new to me.

Edit your SSH config (~/.ssh/config) to tell SSH to use the certificate that you got from frappecloud, along with your private key “id_rsa” that you generated with your own key pair.

Host *.frappe.cloud
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
    CertificateFile ~/.ssh/id_ed25519-cert.pub

only THEN ssh will be able to connect properly.
