Debug a Refused SSH Login (Verbose Mode)

Prints the whole handshake: which config blocks matched, which keys were offered, and which the server rejected.

Read for three lines: "Reading configuration data" shows which config block applied, "Offering public key" shows what was tried, and "Authentications that can continue" shows what the server will accept. That trio usually names the problem.

When you need this: When a connection asks for a password, times out, or refuses your key and you cannot see why.
