Cause (Documented platform behavior): The provider helper clients deliberately stub out resources the cloud platform does not expose; Bedrock Mantle initializes only Messages (and a beta namespace limited to messages).
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Inline-content recommendation is general guidance, not stated in the fetched source.
Other error fragments:
- Skills are not supported on Bedrock.
- Files are not supported on Vertex.
- Skills are not supported on Vertex.
- Files are not supported on Bedrock Mantle. Only Messages (/v1/messages) is supported.
- Models listing is not supported on Bedrock Mantle. Only Messages (/v1/messages) is supported.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Code that works with Anthropic::Client raises NotImplementedError when the client is swapped for the Bedrock/Vertex/Mantle helper client.
- Context
- Product: Anthropic Ruby SDK Component: Anthropic::BedrockClient / VertexClient / Bedrock MantleClient Operation: client.files / client.skills / client.models / client.completions / client.beta.files on a cloud-provider client Affected versions: observed in anthropic-sdk-ruby 1.73.0 source (main 742d245) Environment: Ruby Exception: NotImplementedError Packages: anthropic source at 1.73.0 Trigger: Calling Files API, Skills, model listing or legacy completions through a cloud-provider client.

Proposed fix: [Anthropic Ruby SDK] NotImplementedError 'Files are not supported on Bedrock.' / 'Only Messages (/v1/messages) is supported' on Bedrock, Vertex and Bedrock Mantle clients
Recommended action: Keep Files/Skills/models usage on the first-party Anthropic API client; on Bedrock/Vertex send content inline (base64/URL) in Messages instead of file_id references.
Option: Route unsupported resources to first-party client [evidence: documented_workaround]
Steps:
1. Use Anthropic::Client for files/skills/models
2. Use Bedrock/Vertex client for messages only
Expected: No NotImplementedError
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
