+"""
+Minimal HTTP target for testing LiteLLM **Bedrock pass-through** (`/bedrock/...` on the proxy).
+
+What it does
+  - Serves a tiny Converse-shaped JSON (and optional invoke-shaped) response so the proxy can
+    complete a round trip without calling AWS.
+  - Does **not** verify SigV4 (Bedrock does); any Authorization header is accepted.
+
+How to run
+  uv run python scripts/mock_bedrock_passthrough_target.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9999
+
+Wire LiteLLM to this host (use **one** of these patterns):
+
+  1) model_list (recommended) — set the Bedrock runtime base to the mock:
+
+     model_list:
+       - model_name: mock-bedrock-claude
+         litellm_params:
+           model: bedrock/us.anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0
+           custom_llm_provider: bedrock
+           aws_region_name: us-west-2
+           api_base: "http://127.0.0.1:9999"
+
+  2) Environment (see litellm BaseAWSLLM.get_runtime_endpoint)::
+
+       export AWS_BEDROCK_RUNTIME_ENDPOINT="http://127.0.0.1:9999"
+
+Then call the proxy, e.g. (model_name must match config)::
+
+  curl -sS -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:4000/bedrock/model/mock-bedrock-claude/converse" \
+    -H "Authorization: Bearer $LITELLM_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+    -d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":[{"text":"hi"}]}]}'
+
+The proxy will forward to: {api_base}/model/<resolved model id>/converse (SigV4-signed).
+This mock implements POST .../converse and returns a minimal valid Converse response.
+
+Notes
+  - `converse-stream` / `invoke-with-response-stream` are not real event streams here; use
+    non-streaming paths first for local sanity checks.
+  - Use real (or any non-empty) AWS creds in the environment of the **proxy**; signing still runs.
