Names must also be unique per request. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Renaming only the extension — dots elsewhere and other punctuation still fail. Limitations: - Issue page read via WebFetch summarizer; error text not verified verbatim against raw page. - Bedrock service filename constraint is documented behavior; @ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock CHANGELOG (770c214, 5.0.75) sanitizes document filenames client-side, which avoids but does not change the service behavior. - Error text verified via issue pages (WebFetch); botocore service-2.json documents the constraints as a list, not this sentence.
