## Title

    [AI SDK generateVideo] 'The default provider does not support video models. Please use a Experimental_VideoModelV4 object from a provider (e.g., vertex.video("model-id")).' when passing a model id st…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): resolveVideoModel only resolves strings through the default provider's experimental videoModel method; if absent it throws.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/ai/5d12eaa6caa193d3901cbab98a734403eb6bf622/packages/ai/src/model/resolve-model.ts (github_issue, unknown, documented_behavior): Source: resolveVideoModel uses globalThis.AI_SDK_DEFAULT_PROVIDER ?? gateway and throws this error when provider.videoModel is missing.
    
    Search phrasings: The default provider does not support video models; ai sdk generateVideo string model id error; experimental_generateVideo vertex.video
