- PR #43187: fix(bedrock): respect bedrock.profile config for named AWS profiles (#43143)

The bedrock.profile setting in config.yaml is not respected when initializing the boto3 client, forcing users to use the AWS_PROFILE environment variable instead. Multiple fix attempts address this configuration handling issue.
