Proposed fix: [go-genai Interactions API files] 'sizeBytes must be provided when uploading from Reader' (and 'one of Content, FilePath, or Reader must be provided')
Recommended action: Set SizeBytes (e.g. from Content-Length) or buffer to a temp file and use FilePath.
Option: Provide SizeBytes [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. req.SizeBytes = &n
Expected: Upload proceeds.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
