Comment (by sajith):

 This appears to be the problem:

 {{{
 Warning: checkout key has zero length
 Writing SSH key for checkout to "/tmp/nobody/.ssh/id_rsa"
 Fetching into existing repository
 Fetching from remote repository
 Warning: Permanently added the ECDSA host key for IP address
 '140.82.113.3' to the list of known hosts.

 }}}

 I am able to run a job with ssh. I did that, and it indeed is true that
 `/tmp/nobody/.ssh/id_rsa` (which is the checkout key) is empty. Why?

 According to https://circleci.com/docs/configuration-reference/#checkout,
 "the checkout command automatically adds the required authenticity keys
 for interacting with GitHub and Bitbucket over SSH".  Also, under CircleCI
 -> Project settings -> SSH keys, it says that "no checkout key is
 currently configured! We won't be able to check out your project for
 testing."

 So that seems to be the problem.  There's a button that says "add deploy
 key" but that does not work (Firefox 129.0, Debian). I am going to try the
 next button, which is under "user key" that says "authorize with GitHub"
 (description: "A user key is a user-specific SSH key. GitHub has the
 public key, and we store the private key. Possession of the private key
 gives the ability to act as that user, for purposes of 'git' access to
 projects.")

 (Can CircleCI check out code over HTTPS? That should be helpful?)
