This means the client could not load any of the public key files in its
default paths.  1) did you undo your changes to the .pub files and 2)
are the .pub files world readable?  Your earlier debug traces did not
have this warning so it's new.

(The subsequent debugging indicated that the client had only RSA host
keys, but your server only has known_hosts for ed25519 keys.  Did you
put the client's host public keys in the server's ssh_known_hosts?)

Attachments are preferable.  You can easily quote the relevant parts if
necessary, but as you can see in this bug having logs in comments
quickly becomes unwieldy.
