## Title

    [go-genai Interactions API files] 'sizeBytes must be provided when uploading from Reader' (and 'one of Content, FilePath, or Reader must be provided')

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The resumable upload protocol needs the total size up front.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - one of Content, FilePath, or Reader must be provided
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/go-genai/b70164ad5fd73a8f66e04a5059683176096cec50/interactions/files.go (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Upload resolves size from Content/FilePath; for Reader it returns errors.New("sizeBytes must be provided when uploading from Reader").
    
    Search phrasings: go-genai interactions upload reader size; genai go upload io.Reader sizeBytes
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
