Proposed fix: [google-genai Live] 'connect() does not support http_options at request-level in LiveConnectConfig yet' (Python and JS)
Recommended action: Create the client with genai.Client(http_options={'api_version': 'v1alpha', ...}) (or new GoogleGenAI({httpOptions})) and remove http_options from LiveConnectConfig.
Option: Move http options to the client [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. client = genai.Client(http_options={'api_version':'v1alpha'})
2. connect without http_options in config
Expected: Connection opens
