## Title

    [langchain-aws ChatBedrockConverse] File inputs without a name — 'Bedrock Converse may require a filename for file inputs' (DocumentBlock.name is required, 1-200 chars, restricted charset)

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Converse DocumentBlock requires name (1-200 chars; alphanumeric, single whitespace, hyphens, parentheses, square brackets) and names must be unique within the request.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Warning text truncated in record.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/langchain-aws/d2fd809556760ea408b1c90cda773b83fbc0f38e/libs/aws/langchain_aws/chat_models/bedrock_converse.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Warns 'Bedrock Converse may require a filename for file inputs. Specify a filename in the content block: {...'name': 'my-pdf'}'.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boto/botocore/86201a3e9c58a61369b8bcf4b658bfd4463fc41f/botocore/data/bedrock-runtime/2023-09-30/service-2.json (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): DocumentBlock requires name and source; DocumentBlock.name allowed characters: alphanumeric, whitespace (no more than one in a row), hyphens, parentheses, square brackets; recommended neutral name due to prompt-injection risk.
    
    Search phrasings: langchain-aws bedrock pdf filename required; bedrock converse document name required
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
