MaxRetries defaults to 2. Fix status: documented_behavior Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/3cfb2242c7adaa0dc3b8c2ad1972d9b47d820765/client.go (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): CalculateNonStreamingTimeout returns the user RequestTimeout if set; else computes 1h*maxTokens/128000 and errors 'streaming is required for operations that may take longer than 10 minutes' if > 10 min or over the model's non-streaming token limit; default 10 min. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-go/3cfb2242c7adaa0dc3b8c2ad1972d9b47d820765/internal/requestconfig/requestconfig.go (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Default MaxRetries: 2.
