Bedrock streaming responses without a content-type no longer fail

Bedrock streaming replies missing a content-type now work, and a new env var restores the old strict check.

What

A Bedrock streaming response that arrives with no content-type header at all is now treated as application/vnd.amazon.eventstream instead of being rejected. Set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_BEDROCK_CONTENT_TYPE_DEFAULT to turn the defaulting off and get the old strict behaviour.

Details
  • Only applies when the header is absent; a wrong content-type still fails the check.
  • Separately, the default AWS credential chain now builds its STS endpoint through a region helper instead of pasting the region into a hardcoded URL.
