Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK lazily imports the Node credential provider chain to resolve SigV4 credentials; edge runtimes lack it.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Read from the published npm tarball (bundled JS); not executed.
- Backtick escapes in the bundled JS template literal were rendered before verbatim check.
Other error fragments:
- You can provide a custom `providerChainResolver` in the client options if your runtime does not have access to '@aws-sdk/credential-providers'
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://registry.npmjs.org/@anthropic-ai/bedrock-sdk/-/bedrock-sdk-0.33.8.tgz#package/core/auth.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Throws "Failed to import '@aws-sdk/credential-providers'. You can provide a custom `providerChainResolver` in the client options ... `new AnthropicBedrock({ providerChainResolver })` Original error: ..."; same in core/aws-auth.js for AnthropicAws.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- First request fails before any network call with an import error from core/auth.js.

- Product: Anthropic TypeScript Bedrock SDK Component: AnthropicBedrock / AnthropicAws default AWS credential resolution Operation: new AnthropicBedrock({ awsRegion }) in Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, Deno or bundled browser code Affected versions: unknown Environment: Non-Node or restricted JS runtimes; bundlers that exclude optional AWS packages Exception: Error Packages: @anthropic-ai/bedrock-sdk 0.33.8 (checked) Trigger: No explicit awsAccessKey/awsSecretKey and the runtime cannot dynamically import @aws-sdk/credential-providers (fromNodeProviderChain).

Proposed fix: [@anthropic-ai/bedrock-sdk on edge/Workers/browser runtimes] "Failed to import '@aws-sdk/credential-providers'" — default credential chain needs Node; pass providerChainResolver (or expl
Recommended action: Pass providerChainResolver returning a credential provider for your runtime, or supply awsAccessKey/awsSecretKey/awsSessionToken explicitly (from your secret store); or use a Bedrock API key where supported.
Option: Provide providerChainResolver or static credentials [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. new AnthropicBedrock({ awsRegion, providerChainResolver: async () => myProvider })
2. or awsAccessKey/awsSecretKey/awsSessionToken
