Cause (Documented platform behavior): Mantle auth mints short-term Bedrock API keys (bearer tokens) from AWS credentials via aws-bedrock-token-generator; endpoints and regions must be explicit.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Short-term keys are capped at 12h lifetime (langchain-aws notes the same server-side maximum).
Other error fragments:
- Could not resolve an AWS region for Amazon Bedrock. Pass 'region' in bedrock_mantle_config, attach a boto_session with a configured region, or set AWS_REGION in the environment.
- bedrock_mantle_config requires the 'aws-bedrock-token-generator' package. Install it with: pip install strands-agents[openai]
- Failed to mint an Amazon Bedrock bearer token for region

Proposed fix: [Strands Agents Bedrock Mantle config] 'Unknown Bedrock endpoint ... Use 'bedrock-mantle' or 'bedrock-runtime'', 'Could not resolve an AWS region for Amazon Bedrock', and missing 'aws-be
Recommended action: pip install 'strands-agents[openai]'; set region; ensure the credential chain resolves; use endpoint='bedrock-runtime' for OpenAI GPT models served via cross-Region profile ids.
Option: Install extra, set region, check credentials [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. pip install 'strands-agents[openai]'
2. bedrock_mantle_config={'region':'us-east-1'}
Expected: Tokens minted; requests succeed.
