Aws Append Trailing User Message
=================================

Claude 4.6+ does not support assistant message prefill. Enable
`append_trailing_user_message` to append a trailing user turn when the
conversation ends with an assistant message (e.g. during reasoning).

Use `trailing_user_message_content` to customise the appended text (defaults to "continue").

Note: Claude 4.6+ models auto-detect and enable this flag automatically.
