AWS Transcribe STT previously only supported credentials via explicit
parameters or environment variables. Services running with IAM roles
(EKS pod roles, IRSA, ECS task roles, EC2 instance profiles) or SSO
couldn't use Transcribe without exporting static credentials.
Changes:
- Add resolve_credentials() to utils.py providing a standard fallback
chain: explicit params → environment variables → boto3 credential
provider chain (instance profiles, IRSA, pod roles, SSO, etc.)
- Add AWSCredentials dataclass for type-safe credential passing
- Update AWSTranscribeSTTService to use resolve_credentials() instead
of manual os.getenv() calls
- The boto3 fallback is only attempted when both access key and secret
key are unresolved, avoiding replacement of explicitly provided creds
- boto3 is imported lazily inside the function to avoid hard dependency
for services that don't need the fallback chain
- Add 7 unit tests covering the credential resolution chain
The Bedrock LLM and Polly TTS services already support the full
credential chain via aioboto3.Session() and are not modified.
