    Not sure how to proceed, just noted that this was already failing when I was working on my PR.

    Hi everyone,

    I was reviewing recent GitHub Actions logs and noticed that the "Unmanaged Service Accounts Keys Audit" workflow keeps failing consistently.

    I wanted to mention that my pull request #39177 directly addresses this issue. During my initial investigation, I discovered that the beam_Infrastructure_PolicyEnforcer workflow already runs the same account_keys.py script and—crucially—has the SMTP environment variables correctly configured (the absence of these variables is what causes the standalone action to fail with a socket.gaierror).

    To eliminate code duplication and avoid deploying redundant runners that perform essentially the same task, PR #39177 completely removes the isolated unmanaged service accounts workflow and consolidates the audit task into the existing PolicyEnforcer.

    I apologize for the delay in following up; I hadn't realized this redundant action was still causing pipeline failures. Please let me know if any further changes are needed or if we can proceed to review and merge PR #39177 to resolve this!
