Research direction

The issue names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the Gemini provider integration and how a 503 UNAVAILABLE response becomes an “Unknown error.” Done should be defined by the maintainer, since the report does not specify whether to improve messaging, retry handling, or another behavior.
