The AWS Bedrock provider descriptor is gated on the aws-java-sdk2-core plugin (@OptionalExtension requirePlugins). That dependency is optional by design so installations that don't use Bedrock are not forced to carry the AWS SDK. The trade-off is that Bedrock is absent from the AI Provider list until the AWS SDK plugin is installed, which was not documented. Document the requirement and the enable steps in the README, and add a registration test asserting the Bedrock descriptor is discoverable when the AWS SDK dependency is present.

Description
Closes #210
User report that AWS Bedrock is missing from the AI Provider list (Manage Jenkins → System) after installing/upgrading the plugin.
This is intended behavior, not a defect. AWS Bedrock depends on the AWS SDK v2, which is large, so the
aws-java-sdk2-coredependency is deliberately kept optional — otherwise every Explain Error user would carry the AWS SDK even if they never use Bedrock. The Bedrock descriptor is gated on that plugin via@OptionalExtension(requirePlugins="aws-java-sdk2-core"), so it only registers when the AWS SDK plugin is installed. On an instance without it, Bedrock simply doesn't appear (and nothing is logged, because nothing fails).The gap is that this requirement was not documented, so the provider appears to "vanish" with no guidance. This PR fixes the discoverability rather than forcing the dependency on everyone.
Changes
README.md: document that AWS Bedrock requires the optional AWS SDK 2.x plugin (aws-java-sdk2-core), explain why it is optional, and give the install/enable steps.BedrockProviderRegistrationTest: assert the Bedrock descriptor is discoverable via the same mechanism the provider dropdown uses, guarding the descriptor wiring when the AWS SDK dependency is present.The
aws-java-sdk2-coredependency stays optional — no change to what every installation is required to carry.Related Issues
