creating client for Scaleway Verifier: %w

Error message

creating client for Scaleway Verifier: %w

What it means

In NewScalewayVerifier, building the bootstrap verifier failed at its first step: CreateValidScalewayProfile could not produce a usable credential profile (missing credentials or bad config). This is a client-side configuration failure — no API request has been made yet. Called from main, so it aborts startup of the verifier component.

Solutions

1. Fix the underlying credential problem reported by CreateValidScalewayProfile
2. Ensure SCW_ACCESS_KEY, SCW_SECRET_KEY and SCW_DEFAULT_PROJECT_ID are set
3. Validate the config with 'scw init' or 'scw config'
