When creating a resident ssh key with the below command
ssh-keygen -t ed25519-sk -O resident -O application=ssh:solo2 -O verify-required

The key becomes unable to authenticate with the server with the warning message typically
sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for ED25519-SK "user@source" from agent: agent refused operation

this is the same for ecdsa-sk and ed25519-sk
resident keys function correctly without he verify-required flag (but lack the PIN verification that the verify-required key enforces)
if either or both server and ssh key specify the verify-required flag then the authentication fails.
this occurs on windows 10 (10.0.19044 Build 19044) and ubuntu 22.04.
Server openssh v8.9
client openssh v8.9

Below is a log excerpt of an ssh session with both the key and sever setting verify-required flags.

similar if the key specifies the flag but not the server

debug1: Server accepts key: user@source ED25519-SK SHA256:solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2xxx authenticator agent

sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed for ED25519-SK "user@source" from agent: agent refused operation

if the server has the flag but the key was created without it then the key flashes blue and the session hangs here until terminated

debug1: Server accepts key: user@source ED25519-SK SHA256:solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2xxx authenticator agent
debug3: sign_and_send_pubkey: using [email protected] with ED25519-SK SHA256:solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2xxx
debug3: sign_and_send_pubkey: signing using [email protected] SHA256:solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2xxx

and an except of a successful auth with neither flag set

debug1: Offering public key: user@source ED25519-SK SHA256:solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2solo2xxx authenticator agent
debug3: send packet: type 50
