Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Adding pydantic_core separately without fixing platform/Python tags. Limitations: - Doc-derived (pydantic docs); applies to any compiled dependency (numpy, cryptography...) by the same mechanism. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pydantic/pydantic/bb6da4cfbb1f559885ea2fa207ec93853bfeac64/docs/integrations/aws_lambda.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Pydantic AWS Lambda guide: pip installs wheels for the local platform; use --platform manylinux2014_x86_64/aarch64, --python-version, --only-binary=:all:; 'no module named pydantic_core._pydantic_core' means mismatched OS/arch or Python version; check files and EXT_SUFFIX.
