Cause (Documented platform behavior): langchain-aws prefers api_key and only logs a warning; bearer auth is injected by mutating botocore's private token_provider._providers list, which raises AttributeError if botocore changes.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Note the missing space in the RuntimeError text is in the source.
Other error fragments:
- Bearer token injection is no longer supported.Please open an issue on `langchain-aws` for help.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Requests authenticate as the API key's IAM user rather than the configured profile/role (permissions differ); or client creation raises RuntimeError after a botocore upgrade.

Proposed fix: [langchain-aws] Bedrock API key (api_key / bearer token) silently wins over AWS credentials — 'Both api_key and AWS credentials were provided. Using api_key for authentication' — and fai
Recommended action: Pass only one auth mode; pin botocore/langchain-aws together if you rely on api_key; unset AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK when you intend profile/role auth.
Option: Use a single auth mode and pin versions [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. Remove api_key when using profiles/roles.
2. Pin botocore to a version tested with your langchain-aws when using api_key.
Expected: Predictable identity; no RuntimeError.
