- PR #16086: fix(doctor): accept providers whose catalog id is None

Multiple issues and fixes address the doctor command incorrectly rejecting providers it recognizes as valid, including aliased providers like 'copilot' and 'bedrock'. Related work also adds native AWS Bedrock provider support and fixes provider registration so resolution succeeds.

## TL;DR

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.25`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
