fix(authn): run credential helper from the workspace root#896
Merged
Conversation
Without `working_directory`, the credential helper subprocess inherits whatever CWD Bazel picks (typically an internal output-base path). Any helper that reads workspace-relative config — `.aws/config`, project-local credential files, custom helpers that resolve paths off the workspace root — currently fails to find them. Fixes bazel-contrib#895.
