Docs-only hardening; no behavior change.

  • Add a caution block explaining that skip_* flags (skip_credentials_validation, skip_requesting_account_id, skip_metadata_api_check) are primarily intended for testing or S3-compatible implementations and may bypass AWS validations and metadata checks.
  • Mark these options as "Not recommended for production".
  • Encourage use of standard AWS mechanisms (IAM, STS) and validated TLS, and advise providing credentials via environment variables or secret managers.
