aireserve_api_… (older
audacity_api_… keys keep working). There is no region, no credential chain,
no IAM role, and no signing. The SDKs resolve the key the way the AWS SDKs resolve

MissingApiKeyError or the language equivalent) — before any network call is made.
Keep keys in a secret manager or environment variable; never commit them.
