### 📄 Description
# Changelog Entry
### Description
- Docling expects API keys for authorization in the header under `X-Api-Key` WITHOUT the `Bearer` prefix. These changes allow #16841 to work properly.
See https://github.com/docling-project/docling-serve/blob/main/docs/configuration.md
### Fixed
- Removes the lingering `Bearer` prefix for the previously incorrect `Authorization` header type
