## Title

    [Strands Agents BedrockModel] Prompt caching silently skipped for application inference profile ARNs — 'model_id=<arn> | cache_config is enabled but this model does not support automatic caching'

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Auto detection checks the model id string for 'claude'/'anthropic'; application profile ARNs carry no model name, so detection returns None and caching is skipped.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Same class of problem affects other frameworks that infer features from model id strings (e.g. Vercel AI SDK fixes d82eac2/051a41d for application inference profile ARNs).
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strands-agents/sdk-python/c56b7dea985c0c596ab021c46d3d4d15b4c35b67/site/src/content/docs/user-guide/sdk/model-providers/amazon-bedrock.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Docs 'CacheConfig with ARN-based inference profiles': strategy='auto' checks for 'claude'/'anthropic' substrings; application inference profile ARNs are opaque so caching is skipped with the warning; use strategy='anthropic'.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/ai/5d12eaa6caa193d3901cbab98a734403eb6bf622/packages/amazon-bedrock/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, unknown, released_fix): Vercel AI SDK changelog: d82eac2 enable Anthropic features for application inference profile chat models; 051a41d enable Anthropic reasoning budgets for application inference profile ARNs.
    
    Search phrasings: strands bedrock application inference profile prompt caching not working; bedrock application-inference-profile arn feature detection claude
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
