Connections fail as if known_hosts is in a different format

MacOS 12.4, Core Helper 6.6, Core Shell 3.6.2. Ive recently run into an issue where NO profiles successfully connect, they endlessly retry. I see this in the connection logs:

02:11:04 /Users/kacerdias/.ssh/known_hosts: line 1: Bad configuration option: 192.168.1.4

02:11:04 /Users/kacerdias/.ssh/known_hosts: line 2: Bad configuration option: 192.168.1.4

02:11:04 /Users/kacerdias/.ssh/known_hosts: line 3: Bad configuration option: 192.168.1.4

I can connect using SSH from the Mac terminal with no issues. I tried renaming the known_hosts file then manually connecting using SSH from the Mac terminal to recreate a fresh known_hosts file but the same thing happens. It's as if it cannot parse the file anymore.

Is it possible for you to set Log Level to DEBUG3 and send me a copy of full connection log? Please don't forget desensitize the log before paste it publicly.

Kindly Regards,
