fix: replace genai.Client() with GenerativeModel for batch mode

- Fix 3 type-checker errors by using genai.GenerativeModel instead of non-existent genai.Client()
- Implement sequential processing fallback for batch mode since current SDK lacks batch API
- Add proper type annotations for _batch_results storage
- Maintain same user interface while working with google-generativeai v0.8.5
- All batch mode tests continue to pass with new implementation
