STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- name: AOS-CX Collector
  hosts: arubaos-cx
  gather_facts: no
  collections:
   - arubanetworks.aoscx
   
  vars:
    ansible_network_os: arubanetworks.aoscx.aoscx
    ansible_user: manager
    ansible_connection: network_cli 
    ansible_host_key_checking: false
    ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3
    ansible_aoscx_validate_certs: false
    ansible_aoscx_use_proxy: false
    ansible_acx_no_proxy: true

  tasks:
    - name: "Show Config"
      aoscx_command:
        commands: ['show images']
     
      register: show_aoscx_output

    - debug:
        msg: "{{output.stdout_lines}}"

    - name: SSH on SFTP for confirmation
      ansible.netcommon.cli_command: 
        command: ssh [email protected]
        check_all: true
        prompt:
        - '.*'
        - Password
        answer:
        - yes\n
        - thepassword

EXPECTED RESULTS

The authenticity of host ... can't be established.
ED25519 key fingerprint is SHA256:jfwKE8.
This key is not known by any other names.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?

prompt should send 'yes'

I tried different combinations of prompt 'the authencity', 'connecting', it triggers timeout.

when I accept the host key via switch cli, the command produces expected result, eg password is send connection established
