Reviewed this PR. The fix is correct — the strands SDK's Nothing else to flag — trivial dependency correction, no tests or telemetry needed. Already approved and merged; looks good. 👍 |

Description
Fixes ImportError: cannot import name 'genai' from 'google' when running strands agents with Gemini model provider.
The strands SDK's strands.models.gemini module uses from google import genai, which requires the google-genai package. The template was incorrectly specifying google-generativeai (the older SDK with a different
import path).
