Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - The Live module does not support httpOptions at request-level in LiveConnectConfig yet. Please use the client-level httpOptions configuration instead. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/python-genai/6d012889752f65c1a51d0ad6e5970fc97d19c4ca/google/genai/live.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): connect() raises this ValueError when config.http_options is set. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/js-genai/4d7e80b03dda3b9104649cb69bd8471f52f0c207/src/live.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): JS Live.connect throws the parallel error.
