But as soon as I add the key to an agent, it now hides that reminderGenerally we prefer to use ssh-askpass for agent notifications.
*Which* ssh-askpass, OpenBSD's (with the "LEDs" underneath and "only" the usual range of X11 options), GNOME's (which doesn't react to "--help", "-h", or "-?", and doesn't seem to have a manpage, either), or KDE's (with a selection of possible options, including "--help", "--author", "--license", and Qt-specific ones)?
As far as I know, they would all require a (in the OP's use case, *second*) user interaction to close them again, and are pretty much unusable for any *multiline* notifications (say, something similar to "VisualHostKey=yes") ...
However, IIUC the real problem with the OP's request is that it is indeed the *agent* asking (or not ...) the user to complete the authentication, whereas in the empty-agent version, it's the *ssh* command - which *is* connected to a terminal - doing so. Hence, the prompt is not exactly "hidden", but doesn't readily *have* a place to show up in.
