## Title

    [Anthropic Messages API] 400 'does not support tool types: computer_20251124' on Claude Opus 5.5

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Opus 5.5 on these platforms supports computer use only via computer_toolset_20260801; the API returns this message form for any unsupported Anthropic-defined tool type.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Behavior differs by platform: Bedrock keeps accepting computer_20251124 for Opus 5.5.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/errors (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Documents the message format (names the rejected type, then a 'Did you mean one of' list) and the toolset migration.
    
    Search phrasings: opus 5.5 computer use tool type not supported; computer_toolset_20260801 migration
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
