why can't I connect to my ssh server UNLESS I enter eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" first?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

okay I tried that, using -i to specify private key. I get the same thing: blank / blinking cursor. When I use verbose -v flag, I see that in all cases (using -i, the config file, and originally) it ends with these two lines (after about 50 lines) :
where (etc) is some redacted text. It seems the server is ACCEPTING the key, which is nice. But then it's still a blinking cursor...
Check if it is true. In the server logs.
I'm not sure which logs I can and should check, but when I listen to this:
sudo tail -f /var/log/auth.log
I only get this right after I ctrl+C on my blank / blinking cursor screen. (Did this 3 times in a row.)
Where MY_PUBLIC_IP is redacted. I'm not even sure why my public IP is showing. I connect locally. But ports are forwarded, yes.
Using
sudo journalctl -u sshd -f
does not seem to output anything...That's only part of the handshake. It'd require agent input around that point.
