Please use AI SDK v5+ models or call the generateLegacy() method" ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): Mastra checks model.specificationVersion: v1 (AI SDK v4) models only work with generateLegacy()/streamLegacy(); v2 (AI SDK v5) and v3 (AI SDK v6) are supported; other versions are rejected. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - which is not compatible with stream(). Please use AI SDK v5+ models or call the streamLegacy() method instead. - with unrecognized specificationVersion - Supported versions: v1 (legacy), v2 (AI SDK v5), v3 (AI SDK v6).
