Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - The error message contains a doubled comma exactly as in source. - Server-side acceptance of additionalProperties via response_json_schema depends on model; not verified here. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/python-genai/6d012889752f65c1a51d0ad6e5970fc97d19c4ca/google/genai/_transformers.py (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): _raise_for_unsupported_mldev_properties raises ValueError when additionalProperties is set and client is not vertexai; called at the start of process_schema. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/python-genai/6d012889752f65c1a51d0ad6e5970fc97d19c4ca/README.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): README shows response_json_schema accepting a raw JSON schema or Pydantic model_json_schema() as an alternative to response_schema.
