continuations at the end of a clip using the `extend` task or directly
with a prompt.
* **Interpolation (first + last frame)**: Generate a video transitioning
between two images using the `image_to_video` task with up to 2 images.
* **Resolution control**: New `resolution` parameter in `video_config`
supports `360p`, `720p` (default), `1080p`, and `4k` outputs.
1080p and 4K outputs are generated using upscaling.

The existing `gemini-omni-flash-preview` endpoint will be deprecated on
September 30, 2026.
