Oh, no, no you don't have to use ssh-agent. I just sort of presume
that folks don't like retyping their passphrase any more than I do,
but maybe not everyone is quite so paranoid about it as I am as
regards its length.
Then I revert to the idea that something changed in the sshd's
config that led it to not ask for the passphrase. If you run into
this again, you should do ssh -v -v -v and see what login methods
are attempted and why public key authentication failed or was
rejected.

No. None of these files are not even opened for writing during the
login process.
