## Title

    [Amazon Bedrock Mantle (OpenAI-compatible)] Context overflow returns validation_error 'prompt tokens (N) exceed model maximum (M) for <model>' — not recognized by Bedrock-runtime overflow matchers

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Mantle reports overflow as a structured validation_error/invalid_request_error with its own wording rather than the plain-text Bedrock-runtime patterns or OpenAI's code.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Wording taken from LiteLLM test fixtures modeled on Mantle responses.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/22b36cbcf6583e2d6b552cc0e87ae6ab82c46341/litellm/litellm_core_utils/exception_mapping_utils.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): LiteLLM comment: Mantle reports context overflow as a structured validation error rather than the plain-text Bedrock patterns, so it needs its own detection (_BEDROCK_MANTLE_CONTEXT_WINDOW_PATTERN).
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BerriAI/litellm/22b36cbcf6583e2d6b552cc0e87ae6ab82c46341/tests/unit/litellm_core_utils/test_exception_mapping_utils.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Fixture body: {"error":{"code":"validation_error","message":"prompt tokens (1055489) exceed model maximum (1050000) for openai.gpt-5.6-sol",..."type":"invalid_request_error"}} mapped to ContextWindowExceededError.
    
    Search phrasings: bedrock mantle prompt tokens exceed model maximum; bedrock mantle context length exceeded gpt-5.6
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
