[BUG]: Infinite recursion in `aws-sdk` instrumentation on dd-trace 5.80.0

Bug Report

Hey,

After upgrading from dd-trace 5.79.0 to 5.80.0, we are getting a crash caused by infinite recursion inside the AWS SDK v3 instrumentation. The stack repeatedly shows the wrapper calling itself:

RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded
at AwsJson1_0Protocol.deserializeResponse (.../datadog-instrumentations/src/aws-sdk.js:46:24)
at AwsJson1_0Protocol.deserializeResponse (... same ...)
...

When we disable the integration:

DD_TRACE_DISABLED_PLUGINS=aws-sdk

the issue disappears. All SQS calls work normally.

It looks like the change introduced https://github.com/DataDog/dd-trace-js/pull/6911/files is causing recursion.

Environment

• Node 24.11.1
• dd-trace 5.80.0
• @aws-sdk/client-sqs 3.936

Thanks!

Hi @itsjgf, thanks for opening this issue! I would love your help reproducing this issue - was there a particular setup or SQS operation that lead to this error? I'll be trying out some things locally tomorrow to try and reproduce but if you have a minimal reproduction handy, that would be awesome 😄

As a side note, I believe I know what the issue is, but having a solid reproduction case will be good for a regression test. Thank you!

We have exactly the same issue with the same setup:

Node 24.11.1
dd-trace 5.80.0
@aws-sdk/client-sqs 3.936
