-# Attempted solutions:
-# * reset_connection - see above.
-# * kill local ssh/remove control socket - Zuul blocks running local commands.
-# * kill remote sshd - causes the task to fail, error cannot be ignored.
-# * pause for SSH connection timeout - fails due to
-#   https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/31694.
