## Title

    [PydanticAI v2] ImportError "Please install the `groq` package ... pip install \"pydantic-ai-slim[groq]\"" after upgrading: bedrock/groq/mistral/cohere/xai/huggingface no longer in default extras

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): V2 slimmed the default pydantic-ai extras (#5467); providers like bedrock, groq, mistral, cohere, xai, huggingface, temporal, ag-ui are opt-in, and outlines/vertexai/fastmcp/a2a extras were removed.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Please install `boto3` to use the Bedrock model, you can use the `bedrock` optional group
