## Description
Adds API-key authorization support for Searchkick/OpenSearch so Elastic
Cloud deployments can configure advanced search with an Elastic API key
instead of embedding basic auth in the URL.
The initializer now accepts `OPENSEARCH_API_KEY` or
`ELASTICSEARCH_API_KEY` and forwards it as an `Authorization: ApiKey
...` header. `.env.example` also documents the
OpenSearch/Elasticsearch-compatible search variables.
