I've been debugging a SSH connection using the following command:
ssh -vT user@mysite.com
And I got the following messages:
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 48: Applying options for *
debug2: ssh_connect_direct: needpriv 0
debug1: Connecting to smilescooter.com port 22.
debug1: Connection established.

debug3: send packet: type 20
debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent
debug3: receive packet: type 20
debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received
debug2: local client KEXINIT proposal
Luckily, the problem was fixed, but I am interested as what the "identity file file_route type n" mean, n here could be -1,0,1,2...
And what does the number(1/2/3..) after debug mean in the beginning of each debugging line?
I wouldn't ask it here if I had found results googling about this. There are a lot of results in google concerning SSH problem debugging, but no one seems to be talking about the two I've asked here.
Thank you so much in advance.

Identity file is simply a private key (or cert), usually by running ssh-keygen. This will by default create an RSA key, but you can change that with the -t option. According to the output, you have an RSA and an ECDSA key.
The id is just the integer value (zero based) of the sshkey_types enum and -1 meaning error (as with most POSIX functions).
The error messages key_load_public: No such file or directory after the identity file... messages is strange, it seems that the corresponding public key files got deleted. They carry the same file name as the private key with an added .pub suffix. This is not tragic, as the public key can be regenerated from the private key (but not vice versa, for obvious reasons) with ssh-keygen -y.

As the output suggests, "type n" is the internal ID of the key type (RSA, ECDSA, ED25519, etc.). The list can be seen in sshkey.c.
Similarly, the n after debug is the debug level. The output you have shown is for -vvv, or debug logging up to level 3 (the maximum), hence debug1, debug2 and debug3.
The full details of both would generally be of use only to OpenSSH developers (primarily, OpenBSD developers), so I wouldn't expect this to be commonly discussed.
