GitLab Runner 18.6.0 Authentication Failure on Subsequent Pipeline Runs (SSH Executor)

This is a follow up in some way to #39123 (closed)

That issue was fixed in runner 18.6.2, for the shell executor.

Unfortunately, it happens exactly the same when using the SSH executor, which was not fixed in 18.6.2.

Description is the same as the linked issue, just use SSH executor instead of shell executor.

Fix for me was to downgrade to 18.5.0 which restored normal operation of failing builds.

sudo apt install gitlab-runner=18.5.0-1 gitlab-runner-helper-images=18.5.0-1
