## Title

    [Veo via google-genai] ValueError 'generate_audio parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.' (also fps, seed, output_gcs_uri, compression…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The SDK's _GenerateVideosConfig_to_mldev converter rejects these fields for the Developer API; conversely webhook_config is Developer-API-only.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Older SDK versions may word the same check differently (e.g. referencing Vertex AI); the wording here is from the pinned HEAD.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - output_gcs_uri parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.
    - seed parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.
    - generateAudio parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/python-genai/6d012889752f65c1a51d0ad6e5970fc97d19c4ca/google/genai/models.py (github_issue, unknown, documented_behavior): Source: _GenerateVideosConfig_to_mldev raises ValueError for output_gcs_uri, fps, seed, pubsub_topic, generate_audio, mask, compression_quality, labels, resize_mode; _GenerateVideosConfig_to_vertex raises for webhook_config.
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/js-genai/4d7e80b03dda3b9104649cb69bd8471f52f0c207/src/converters/_models_converters.ts (github_issue, unknown, documented_behavior): JS equivalent throws 'generateAudio parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode, not in Gemini Developer API mode.'
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google-gemini/cookbook/f6c5d71cd8c3b0c0f385b8ade6c68a46f8876599/quickstarts/Get_started_Veo.ipynb (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Developer API Veo quickstart lists only negative_prompt, person_generation, duration_seconds, aspect ratio and resolution as parameters and notes Veo 3 videos include audio.
    
    Search phrasings: generate_audio parameter is only supported in Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform mode; veo generate_videos seed not supported gemini api; output_gcs_uri parameter is only supported; veo gemini developer api vs vertex parameters
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
