Cause (Documented platform behavior): Instructor pre-validates the schema against Bedrock native structured-output limits: minimum/maximum/multipleOf/minLength/maxLength unsupported, minItems only 0 or 1, no free-form mappings (additionalProperties must be false).

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Pydantic models with Field(max_length/min_length/ge/le/multiple_of), conlist(min_length>1) or dict[str, X] fields fail locally in Bedrock native structured-output mode.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Instructor + Bedrock native structured outputs] ConfigurationError "do not support the `maxLength` JSON Schema constraint" / minItems / additionalProperties
Recommended action: Drop constraints from the wire schema and enforce them with Pydantic validators (which trigger instructor retries), replace dict fields with explicit models or list of key/value items, or use TOOLS/MD_JSON mode.
Option: Move constraints into validators [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: JSON_SCHEMA mode on Bedrock
Steps:
1. Remove max_length etc. from Field()
2. Add @field_validator to enforce the constraint
Expected: Schema accepted; constraint still enforced client-side
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
