Add Native Prompt Caching Support for Anthropic Claude on AWS Bedrock in Watson Orchestrate Agent Runtime

Watson Orchestrate's agent runtime does not inject the cache_control: {"type": "ephemeral"} metadata on static prompt segments when calling Anthropic Claude on AWS Bedrock, so Bedrock prompt caching is never activated.

Why it's useful: Every agent turn recomputes the full static context (system instructions + skill catalog), wasting Bedrock compute tokens and adding latency — even though the downstream gateway already supports caching.

Who benefits: Enterprise customers running high-volume agent workloads on Bedrock/Anthropic models who want lower token costs and faster response times.

How it should work: The agent runtime should automatically attach cache_control breakpoints to static prompt segments (base instructions, tool/skill catalogs) at the point of LLM dispatch when routing to Bedrock/Anthropic models — requiring no configuration from the end user.
