## Title

    [Claude on Vertex AI] 404 when region='us'/'eu' because the client builds https://us-aiplatform.googleapis.com instead of the multi-region https://aiplatform.us.rep.googleapis.com host

## Body

    Cause (Maintainer-confirmed cause): Vertex has three host shapes: global → aiplatform.googleapis.com; multi-region us/eu → aiplatform.<loc>.rep.googleapis.com; regional → <loc>-aiplatform.googleapis.com. Some clients only implemented two (maintainer-merged fixes).
    
    Fix status: released_fix (fixed in anthropic (python) 0.98.0 for async client)
    
    Workaround (not a fix): Pass baseURL/base_url explicitly for the multi-region host.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-on-vertex-ai (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Docs: multi-region identifiers 'us'/'eu' route to https://aiplatform.us.rep.googleapis.com / aiplatform.eu.rep.googleapis.com; global recommended; regional/multi-region carry 10% premium.
    - https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python/pull/1406 (github_issue, 2026-04, maintainer_confirmed_cause): AsyncAnthropicVertex (0.89.0-0.96.0) built https://us-aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1/ for region='us' → NotFoundError 404; sync client correct since 0.89.0; fixed via #1734.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python/main/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, 2026-05-04, released_fix): 0.98.0: vertex: async client missing us/eu multi-region base_url branches (#1734); 0.89.0 added US multi-region support.
    - https://github.com/vercel/ai/issues/14634 (github_issue, 2026-04-20, reported_symptom): @ai-sdk/google-vertex 4.0.95 built <loc>-aiplatform hosts, failing for eu/us needed by claude-opus-4-7; labelled merged-main; workaround explicit baseURL.
    
    Search phrasings: AsyncAnthropicVertex region us 404; claude vertex eu multi-region endpoint not found; aiplatform.eu.rep.googleapis.com claude opus 4.7
