Puzzling ssh fail - Githubissues

This is the deploy snippet in my github deploy.yml

- name: Deploy
      uses: deployphp/action@v1
      with:
        private-key: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY }}
        dep: deploy ${{ secrets.SSH_HOST }} -o branch=main -o keep_releases=3 -vvv

PRIVATE_KEY and SSH_HOST are defined in my github actions secrets

However, I keep seeing this error in teh deploy log

Run deployphp/action@v1
$ ssh-agent -a /tmp/ssh-auth.sock
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-auth.sock; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=3422; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
echo Agent pid 3422;

using sshpass-action I have confirmed it can actually login from teh deploy, and I've also tested locally using teh private key and it has no problems logging in..

Any suggestions as to where to look?
