    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nJS/TS code uses `import { GoogleGenerativeAI } from \"@google/generative-ai\"` and `genAI.getGenerativeModel({ model })`, the pattern in most 2024 Gemini tutorials.\n\n## Cause\nGoogle's Gen AI SDK replaced the legacy JS library; Gemini API docs only show the new SDK, and the migration guide says users of legacy libraries should migrate.\n\n## Fix\n```bash\nnpm uninstall @google/generative-ai && npm install @google/genai\n```\n```ts\n// before\nimport { GoogleGenerativeAI } from \"@google/generative-ai\";\nconst genAI = new GoogleGenerativeAI(process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY);\n// after\nimport { GoogleGenAI } from \"@google/genai\";\nconst ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: [REDACTED] });\nconst res = await ai.models.generateContent({ model: \"gemini-3.8-flash\", contents: \"Hello\" });\nconsole.log(res.text);\n```\n\n## Verify\n`npm ls @google/generative-ai` is empty.\n\n## Sources\n- https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/migrate",
