Describe the bug
When redact_latest_message is triggered (e.g. via guardrail redaction), update_message attempts to delete the old AWS event using session_message.message_id as the eventId.
However, Strands' SessionMessage.message_id is a sequential integer index (e.g. 4), not an AWS eventId string (e.g. "4#abc123f"). The AWS delete_event API requires eventId to be a string matching [0-9]+#[a-fA-F0-9]+, so botocore rejects the integer at parameter validation, causing the redaction to fail with
Error
Failed to update message: could not delete old event: Parameter validation failed: Invalid type for parameter eventId, value: 4, type: <class 'int'>, valid types: <class 'str'>
To Reproduce
- Strands' RepositorySessionManager.initialize_agent calls session_repository.create_message() directly with SessionMessage objects whose message_id is a sequential integer index (0, 1, 2...). It then sets _latest_agent_message[agent_id] to the last such SessionMessage.
- When redact_latest_message is subsequently called, it reads _latest_agent_message[agent_id] and passes it to update_message.
- update_message extracts old_message_id = session_message.message_id -> this is the integer 4, not an AWS eventId string.
- It then calls gmdp_client.delete_event(eventId=old_message_id), but the AWS API requires eventId to match pattern [0-9]+#[a-fA-F0-9]+ (e.g. "4#abc123f"), so botocore rejects the integer with a ParamValidationError.
Expected behavior
_latest_agent_message[agent_id].message_id should always contain the AWS eventId string returned by create_event, not the Strands positional integer index.

src/bedrock_agentcore/memory/integrations/strands/session_manager.py, update_message -> delete_event call.
