  Thrown when a 2xx response body cannot be parsed into the expected
  candidates/parts shape, or when it contains zero image parts (e.g. a safety
  refusal returning text only). In the zero-image case the detail string
  includes any text parts' content so refusals surface legibly. Non-fatal.
  Printf arg: `[detail]`.
