## Title

    [google-genai] ValueError: stream_function_call_arguments is not compatible with automatic function calling (AFC)

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): SDK rejects the combination: argument streaming requires manual function handling.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Derived from SDK source code on main (v2.25.0, 2026-09-22); no issue thread read for this string.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://github.com/googleapis/python-genai/blob/main/google/genai/_extra_utils.py (official_docs, 2026-09-22, documented_behavior): Raises ValueError telling the user to set config.automatic_function_calling.disable to True to disable AFC or leave stream_function_call_arguments unset.
    
    Search phrasings: gemini stream_function_call_arguments not compatible with automatic function calling; google genai streaming function call arguments AFC error
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
