The ES_API_KEY env var was injecting an x-api-key HTTP header, which Elasticsearch ignores. Replace with the native api_key constructor parameter that sends the correct Authorization: ApiKey header. Also guard basic auth (ES_USER/ES_PASS) so it is skipped when api_key is configured, since elasticsearch-py 8.x raises ValueError when multiple auth methods are provided.

Description:
ES_API_KEYauthentication was nonfunctional. The previous implementation set anx-api-keyheader, which is not recognized by Elasticsearch. This PR uses the nativeapi_keyparameter in elasticsearch-py, which correctly sends theAuthorization: ApiKeyheader.Also guards
http_authso both auth methods aren't set simultaneously (elasticsearch-py raisesValueErrorwhen multiple auth methods are configured).PR Checklist:
