test(bedrock): add regression test for cachePoint as separate block

[minorun365]

Summary

Add regression test to verify that cachePoint content blocks are correctly formatted as standalone blocks (not merged into previous content blocks).

This test confirms that the fix from PR #1438 works correctly for the scenario reported in Issue #1219, where cachePoint blocks following text blocks were causing ValidationException errors.

What this PR does:

• Adds a test case test_format_request_cachepoint_after_text_separate_blocks that verifies:
  • cachePoint blocks remain as separate content blocks
  • Each content block contains exactly one key (respecting Bedrock's tagged union structure)
  • The scenario from Issue [BUG] BedrockModel doesn't handle cachePoint content blocks in messages, causes ValidationException #1219 works correctly

Background

Issue #1219 reported that cachePoint blocks after text/document content caused ValidationException. This was already fixed by PR #1438 (which added proper cachePoint handling in _format_request_message_content).

This PR adds a regression test to ensure the fix continues to work.

Test plan

• Added unit test test_format_request_cachepoint_after_text_separate_blocks
• Test passes locally with hatch test tests/strands/models/test_bedrock.py::test_format_request_cachepoint_after_text_separate_blocks

Closes #1219

Hey thanks for raising this but it seems like this would still fail if we have

content = [
    {"document": {"format": "pdf", ...}},
    {"document": {"format": "pdf", ...}},
    {"cachePoint": {"type": "default"}}  # ← standalone, causes ValidationException
]

transformed into

content = [
    {"document": {"format": "pdf", ...}},
    {"document": {"format": "pdf", ...}, "cachePoint": {"type": "default"}}  # ← merged
]

no?

If not, great but lets add/modify integ tests to prove that.

Thanks for the review! You were absolutely right - my original approach was incorrect.

After investigating further, I discovered:

1. The merging approach violates Bedrock's tagged union structure - content blocks can only have one key (text, document, cachePoint, etc.), so merging cachePoint into a document block like {"document": {...}, "cachePoint": {...}} causes ParamValidationError

2. Issue [BUG] BedrockModel doesn't handle cachePoint content blocks in messages, causes ValidationException #1219 was already fixed by PR feat(bedrock): add automatic prompt caching support #1438 - The _format_request_message_content method already handles cachePoint blocks correctly by returning {"cachePoint": {"type": "..."}} as a standalone block (line 478-479)

I've updated this PR to:

• Remove my incorrect merging logic
• Add a regression test to verify cachePoint blocks are correctly formatted as separate blocks

The test confirms that:

content = [
    {"text": "Some text"},
    {"cachePoint": {"type": "default"}}
]

is correctly preserved as two separate blocks, not merged.

Thanks for catching this! 🙏
