Proposed fix: [@google/genai] 'type: null can not be the only possible type for the field.' / 'type and anyOf cannot be both populated.' when converting JSON Schema (zod/JSON schema) for responseSchem
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Express nullability with ["X","null"] / nullable on the real type; remove "type" when "anyOf" is present; or pass the raw schema via responseJsonSchema/parametersJsonSchema where supported.
Option: Normalize the schema [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Google Gen AI SDK for JavaScript (@google/genai) / JSON Schema -> Gemini Schema conversion (processJsonSchema)
Steps:
1. Replace null-only fields with nullable real types
2. Strip top-level "type" from nodes that use anyOf
3. Or use responseJsonSchema / parametersJsonSchema
Expected: Schema accepted
