I do not understand why you would need both SSH_PASS and SSH_ASKPASS to supply the passphrase to ssh-add ?

Possible improvement: ssh-add will endlessly loop calling the SSH_ASKPASS program if password was bad, consider making auto-add-key exit if $1 starts with Bad (full content is "Bad passphrase, try again for /path/to/key" as of OpenSSH_9.3p1)
