Use 'bedrock-mantle' or 'bedrock-runtime'', 'Could not resolve an AWS region for Amazon Bedrock', and missing 'aws-bedrock-token-g… ## Body 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 Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strands-agents/sdk-python/c56b7dea985c0c596ab021c46d3d4d15b4c35b67/strands-py/src/strands/models/_openai_bedrock.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Raises the unknown-endpoint ValueError, region-resolution ValueError, ImportError for aws-bedrock-token-generator, and RuntimeError when token minting fails. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/langchain-aws/d2fd809556760ea408b1c90cda773b83fbc0f38e/libs/aws/langchain_aws/utils.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Comment: server-side maximum lifetime of a short-term Bedrock API key issued by aws-bedrock-token-generator is 43200 s (12 h); Bedrock rejects longer expiries.
