#1744 made
HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_LITELLM_SDK_API_KEYoptional — it's now only forwarded when set, so litellm-sdk embeddings work with ambient credentials (e.g. AWS Bedrock via IAM roles / ECS task role), matching the LLM-sidebedrockbehavior. Previouslycreate_embeddings_from_env()raisedValueErrorif the key was unset.The config table row still read like the key was always needed. This updates the description (docs + skills reference mirror) to note it's optional for ambient-credential providers, consistent with the existing
HINDSIGHT_API_EMBEDDINGS_LITELLM_API_KEY"(optional, …)" row and the docstring added in #1744.If this has already been covered elsewhere, feel free to close.
