fix(gemini): convert PDF to text in functionResponse parts to prevent API errors

PR_DESCRIPTION_2020.md

@@ -0,0 +1,21 @@
+## Problem
+
+When reading PDF files, the API returns "Invalid value: file. Supported values are: 'text','image_url','video_url' and 'video'." error. Worse, this error state persists in the session, causing all subsequent requests to fail with the same error.
+
+Fixes #2020
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Gemini API's FunctionResponse does not support PDF (`application/pdf`) in the `parts` field. When a tool returns PDF content as inlineData, it gets passed through to the API, which rejects it.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Add PDF (`application/pdf`) to unsupported media types in `convertUnsupportedMediaToText()`
+- PDF content in tool responses is now converted to explanatory text instead of being sent as inlineData
+- This prevents the API error and allows the session to continue normally
+
+## Testing
+
+- Added test case for PDF inlineData conversion
+- Added test case for PDF fileData conversion
+- All 11 tests in geminiContentGenerator.test.ts pass
