ssh install tells a missing .ssh from one it cannot enter (closes #10)
check / check (push) Failing after 0s

The first sftp session now lists .ssh before fetching authorized_keys. The file reads as empty only when sftp reports .ssh itself as missing, or the listing succeeded and the file is reported missing. A directory or file that is there but cannot be read fails the run and nothing is written, so no existing authorized_keys is replaced by content that was not built from what was read. An .ssh that already exists keeps its mode; the directory is made and set to 0700 only when none was found. The README describes the rule and states batch mode's limit: a key or an agent must authenticate.
