gcr-ssh-agent not gui prompting any longer

gcr-ssh-agent no longer gui prompts after updates/trying out hyprland/reverting systemd updates for breaking graphical login. I don't think I touched anything around it specifically and should have reverted everything cleanly while attempting to resolve the systemd issue I was having.

sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for RSA "/home/boop/.ssh/id_rsa" from agent: agent refused operation

Sep 23 00:10:23 moop gcr-ssh-agent[3004]: couldn't prompt for password: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Remote peer disconnected
Sep 23 00:10:23 moop gcr-ssh-agent[3004]: the /usr/bin/ssh-add command failed: Child process exited with code 1

ssh-add from the command line works and unlocks the keyring to be used like normal but it'd be nice to have it pop up the gui prompt like it used to.

Only odd messages in dbus log but these have been around long before having this issue.

Re: gcr-ssh-agent not gui prompting any longer

I had the same error; turns out it was caused by AppArmor being too strict with `gcr-prompter`. Updating the `apparmor.d-git` package fixed it for me.
