## Title

    [go-genai Batches.Create] 'one of FileName and InlinedRequests must be set.' / 'Only one of FileName and InlinedRequests can be set.' / invalid batch job name format

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Gemini Developer API batches accept exactly one source (uploaded file name or inline requests); job names follow backend-specific formats.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - The 'Expected format like ...' strings are suffixes of the full message 'Invalid batch job name: <name>. Expected format like ...'.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Only one of FileName and InlinedRequests can be set.
    - Expected format like 'batches/id'
    - Expected format like 'projects/id/locations/id/batchPredictionJobs/id' or 'id'
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/go-genai/b70164ad5fd73a8f66e04a5059683176096cec50/batches.go (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Create validates FileName vs InlinedRequests; name helpers return format errors per backend.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/go-genai/b70164ad5fd73a8f66e04a5059683176096cec50/transformer.go (github_source, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): transformer.go returns 'Invalid batch job name: %s. Expected format like ...' for Gemini API ('batches/id') and Vertex ('projects/id/locations/id/batchPredictionJobs/id' or 'id') (lines 529/535).
    
    Search phrasings: go genai batch one of FileName and InlinedRequests must be set; gemini batch invalid batch job name expected format batches/id
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
