error listing SSH keys: %v

Error message

error listing SSH keys: %v

What it means

In the SSHKey task's Find, the IAM API ListSSHKeys call (filtered by key name, all pages) failed while trying to locate the existing key pair. Note the message uses %v rather than %w, so the SDK error is stringified, not wrapped. The lookup result decides whether the key must be created.
