Research direction

Start by locating the KMS client initialization used by the signer and review how the relayer currently obtains service-account credentials. Compare that flow with workload identity on GKE. Done means the KMS client can authenticate through workload identity in the stated Docker-on-GKE setup without requiring a service account key.
