Migrating SSH to post-quantum cryptography: a practical guide

OpenSSH added hybrid post-quantum key exchange with ML-KEM in version 9.9 and made it the default algorithm in 10.0. The question is no longer whether to migrate SSH to post-quantum, but how to do it without breaking old clients: enable the hybrid mode, keep a classical fallback, and verify with ssh -v that the active algorithm is the right one.
