Research direction
Start by reading the linked IETF draft for the mlkem768x25519-sha256 key exchange, then review how this Rust SSH project organizes crates and existing key exchange support. Use the ml-kem and x25519-dalek crates as the stated implementation inputs; done means the project has support for the named hybrid algorithm.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
OpenSSH 10.0 introduced support for a hybrid key exchange combining ML-KEM and X25519 called mlkem768x25519-sha256:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sshm-mlkem-hybrid-kex/
It would be good to add a crate with support for this key exchange algorithm, leveraging the ml-kem and e.g. curve25519-dalek/x25519-dalek crates
