Remove s3Uri and try again.' — S3 image sources not accepted for Claude ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): S3-location media sources are model-dependent in Converse; Claude models on Bedrock require inline bytes for images. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Document S3 sources for Claude inside tool results fail differently (document.source.type: Field required).
