 A provider adapter may explicitly reuse another provider's transformation helper when that policy applies to its backend, such as Bedrock's Claude adapter using Anthropic payload shaping. Reuse across hosts of the same model family does not make the policy format-wide. Keep provider policy out of shared trait defaults and generic normalization, and keep shared execution contexts limited to inputs the adapter contract actually needs. Pure payload rewrites belong with transformations, not transport handlers
