Proposed fix: [@google/genai] streamFunctionCallArguments with automatic function calling: 'this feature is not compatible with automatic function calling (AFC)'
Recommended action: Either disable AFC (config.automaticFunctionCalling.disable = true) and assemble/execute calls yourself, or leave streamFunctionCallArguments unset.
Option: Disable one of the features [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. config.automaticFunctionCalling = { disable: true }
2. or remove streamFunctionCallArguments
Expected: Request proceeds
