Cause (Documented platform behavior): The driver mints an OIDC identity token, exchanges it via STS AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity for the configured role (session name derived from the task id), and pushes the temporary credentials to the key manager; failures surface as AwsBedrockCredentialsFailed. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source is the open-source warpdotdev/Warp repository at the cited commit; the shipped Warp/oz binary may lag or differ. - Not reproduced in this session. Other error fragments: - Failed to mint OIDC identity token for Bedrock refresh - STS AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity failed - STS response did not include credentials Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/Warp/5af88f49f84e70025f9c19e13f6b9ae64b624627/app/src/ai/agent_sdk/driver/bedrock_credentials.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Refresh mints an OIDC token then calls AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity with the role ARN; contexts give the quoted errors. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/warpdotdev/Warp/5af88f49f84e70025f9c19e13f6b9ae64b624627/app/src/ai/agent_sdk/driver/error_classification.rs (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): AwsBedrockCredentialsFailed is reported as 'Failed to initialize AWS Bedrock credentials: <msg>' with EnvironmentSetupFailed.

Problem details

Observed symptom
Task fails in setup (EnvironmentSetupFailed) or mid-run when credentials refresh.
Context
Product: Warp Oz agents (oz CLI / cloud agents) Component: agent driver: Bedrock OIDC credentials Operation: Running Oz agents on Anthropic via Amazon Bedrock with an OIDC role Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Trigger: The IAM role's trust policy does not accept Warp's OIDC issuer/audience/subject, wrong role ARN, or STS unreachable from the environment.

Recommended action: Check the role ARN and its trust policy (OIDC provider, audience and subject conditions) and that the role has Bedrock invoke permissions. Option: Check the role ARN and its trust policy (OIDC provider, audience and subject conditions) and that the role has Bedrock invoke permissions. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Running Oz agents on Anthropic via Amazon Bedrock with an OIDC role Steps: 1. Verify the IAM OIDC provider and trust policy conditions. 2. Confirm role ARN in the Warp secret/config. 3. Test AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity with a sample token if possible. Expected: The error no longer appears. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
