## Authentication
This skill uses Volcengine IAM v4 signature authentication (HMAC-SHA256). The signing process:
1. Build canonical request with headers: \`content-type;host;x-content-sha256;x-date\`
2. Calculate SHA256 hash of canonical request
3. Derive signing key: secret_key β date β region β service β "request"
4. Sign the string-to-sign with derived key
5. Add \`Authorization\` header to request
