What

Add WireFormat::BedrockConverse and buffered Converse / semantic ConverseStream codecs to the built-in translation registries. Embedded hosts can translate Bedrock JSON through the neutral IR alongside Chat, Responses, and Anthropic. decode_event_stream accepts host-deframed JSON events; native preserved events replay without an extra terminal sequence.

Why

Closes #864. At the base revision, decoding bedrock_converse fails with “no codec registered.” Hosts otherwise need a separate codec or gateway.

Notes for reviewers

Start with crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/bedrock.rs and tests/bedrock_translation.rs. Coverage includes text and function-tool history across existing formats, native control preservation and strict loss, signed/redacted reasoning aggregation, cache usage, arguments before tool identity, malformed events, truncation, and provider errors. JSON tool results normalize to serialized JSON text; preserved native bodies retain their original JSON. Regression coverage also checks context-window exhaustion stays incomplete across all existing formats, adjacent wire-role messages merge in order, parallel tool results retain order, and disabled tools with history retain required configuration with a loss diagnostic (strict policy rejects it). Missing tool definitions with normalized tool history fail; exact native preservation can retain bodies whose tools are supplied by a Prompt ARN.

Source compatibility: adding the public WireFormat variant breaks external exhaustive matches. Existing workspace matches are updated. Server SSE framing explicitly rejects Bedrock; this adds no Bedrock route or configuration.

The host still supplies URL-owned model IDs, AWS credentials, signing, regions, retries, and binary EventStream framing. Bedrock-to-Anthropic streams omit Bedrock signature fragments while retaining visible reasoning and answer text; redacted Bedrock reasoning fails explicitly. Bedrock encoding rejects foreign opaque stream details, including Anthropic signatures. Bedrock encoding requires reported input and output usage; a missing total is computed from those counts and cache details. Parallel tools serialize into Bedrock blocks; a closed tool block cannot resume after other content.

Validation at 56e7b850, integrated with main 9ddd4879, using Rust 1.99.1:

• cargo test --workspace --locked: 1,119 passed, 1 ignored (external handoff fixture).
• cargo test -p switchyard-runner --features prefill-router --locked: 80 passed.
• Workspace and prefill Clippy with warnings denied, formatting, and diff checks: passed.
• Strict MkDocs build: passed, including the merged request/response examples and Bedrock section.
• Python bindings rebuilt with maturin on Python 3.12; Python: 198 passed, 2 integration tests deselected, 2 subtests passed.
• Ruff and mypy: passed.

Tests used local mocks. No live Bedrock or other provider call was made. AWS transport framing, credentials, signing, and model availability remain host responsibilities.

The issue's linked ConductorOne prototype informed the implementation; this is not a wholesale merge of that commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for Amazon Bedrock Converse for translating requests and responses, including streaming events.
  • Added a dedicated event-stream decoding option for already de-framed Bedrock events.
  • Expanded documentation with supported formats, streaming requirements, and translation limitations.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved handling of Bedrock content-filter, guardrail, malformed-output, and malformed-tool-use stop reasons.
  • Bedrock stream errors and incomplete streams are now surfaced as errors rather than successful completions.

Adds de-framed event-stream decoding and Bedrock-specific terminal handling. Rejects Bedrock events where SSE framing is required and rejects Bedrock reasoning details that cannot be encoded as Anthropic thinking text. Adds stream tests.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 312cb

Bedrock Converse translation is new, and several common flows fail in it. Bedrock likely rejects translated requests that contain parallel tool results or prior tool history. Context exhaustion can look like normal completion. Bedrock reasoning streams sent to Anthropic clients end in an error. Fix these issues before merging.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#864] requires a BedrockConverse wire format, buffered request and response translation through the neutral IR, incremental ConverseStream translation, and focused round-trip and cross-format tests. The PR adds and registers the format and both codecs. The reported tests cover buffered and stream round-trips, cross-format tool histories, event replay, malformed events, and stream errors. The PR also documents the source-compatibility impact of the public enum variant.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes support issue [#864] at the protocol and translation boundary. Registry and helper changes expose translation; error mapping and the explicit server SSE rejection prevent unsupported Bedrock framing; reasoning handling rejects unsupported cross-format mappings. The tests and documentation cover these behaviors. The PR does not add the transport work excluded by the issue, such as signing, credentials, routing, or a Bedrock HTTP client.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 29.49% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 78 functions across 16 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

- Line 512: Update the Bedrock stop-reason mapping in the match containing
`StopReason::Error` to recognize `model_context_window_exceeded` as a
non-success outcome, and apply the same mapping in the buffered Bedrock codec.
Ensure target-format encoding preserves that non-success outcome rather than
reporting normal completion.

Review comments at
@crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/anthropic/stream.rs:
- Around line 214-228: Update the Bedrock detail check in the
ReasoningDetailsDelta arm of encode_anthropic_stream so opaque Bedrock
signatures are skipped or mapped instead of failing the stream; reserve
DecodeError for bedrock.redacted_content, with an error message that names
redacted reasoning. Update
event_stream_errors_and_truncation_fail_without_success_terminal to assert the
chosen signature behavior.

Review comments at
@crates/switchyard-translation/src/codecs/bedrock/buffered.rs:
- Around line 285-314: Update the Bedrock request encoding around
`request.tool_choice` and `body` so history containing `ContentBlock::ToolCall`
or `ContentBlock::ToolResult` always has a valid `toolConfig`: when tools are
available, include them without encoding `ToolChoice::None` and report the lossy
diagnostic; when no tools are available, return an error or diagnostic instead
of emitting a rejected body. Update the corresponding `bedrock_translation.rs`
test to expect this behavior.
- Around line 249-258: In the message-encoding loop, merge consecutive
non-system messages that map through encode_role to the same Bedrock role:
append the newly encoded content blocks to the previous message instead of
emitting another message. Preserve separate messages when the roles differ.

Resolved the README conflict while retaining the main examples and Bedrock reference, and integrated main 9ddd4879 at 56e7b850. Could a maintainer approve the pending fork workflow runs and review this PR? The earlier inline findings are resolved.

Local validation passed: Rust workspace (1,119 passed, 1 ignored), prefill runner (80 passed), Python (198 passed, 2 integration tests deselected), Clippy, formatting, Ruff, mypy, and strict docs build. Tests used local mocks; no live AWS call was made.

The latest CI, documentation, getting-started, and package-portability runs show action_required. Commitlint separately reports startup_failure before creating a job; could you also help check that workflow? The PR description contains the updated validation details.
