Because

  • The Gemini component lacked support for image generation using the gemini-2.5-flash-image-preview model
  • Generated images were being exposed as raw binary data arrays in the candidates field instead of being properly extracted to the images field
  • Image processing was duplicated and inefficient in streaming responses, processing the same images multiple times

This commit

  • Adds image generation capability to the Gemini component by extracting images from genai.GenerateContentResponse
  • Extracts generated images from API responses and converts them to format.Image objects in the Images output field
  • Cleans up raw binary InlineData from candidates after image extraction to prevent JSON exposure of binary data
  • Optimizes streaming responses by deferring image processing to final response only, eliminating duplicate processing
  • Updates component configuration documentation to clarify the relationship between images field and candidates field
