## Title

    [Zed + Amazon Bedrock] '<model> is not available in <region>. Try switching to a region where this model is supported.' — Mantle-only models (GPT-5.x, Grok 4.3) need bedrock-mantle IAM permissions an…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Zed maps Bedrock 'model identifier is invalid' validation errors to a Region message. Some models are only reachable via the OpenAI-compatible bedrock-mantle endpoint (https://bedrock-mantle.<region>.api.aws/openai/v1), available in a fixed Region list, and requiring separate IAM permissions.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Source is the open-source zed-industries/zed repository at the cited commit; released Zed builds may differ.
    - Not reproduced in this session.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Mantle-only models (e.g. GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, Grok 4.3) additionally require IAM permissions for the `bedrock-mantle` endpoint.
    - Enter either access keys OR a Bedrock API Key below (not both)

    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zed-industries/zed/e683fd7b465ecfb42b1da88ff685d204c2781076/docs/src/ai/use-a-gateway.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Docs: Mantle models are routed through bedrock-mantle automatically, require extra IAM permissions (e.g. AmazonBedrockMantleInferenceAccess) and are only in some Regions.
    
    Search phrasings: zed bedrock model is not available in region; zed bedrock mantle GPT-5 permissions; bedrock-mantle endpoint zed
