Description

currently kowl works with:
export KAFKA_SASL_AWSMSKIAM_SESSIONTOKEN='...redact'
export KAFKA_SASL_AWSMSKIAM_SECRETKEY='..redact'
export KAFKA_SASL_AWSMSKIAM_ACCESSKEY='..redact'

does it work with IAM role (like for java clients) instead of supplying aws keys/tokens that need to be rotated?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. First identify the Console entry point for MSK IAM configuration and credential loading, then determine whether IAM-role support is intended. Done requires a clear decision and evidence that short-lived credentials work without manually supplied rotating keys.
