## Statements (checkable)
0. The AI SDK 7.0 migration guide says these deprecated exports were removed: experimental_customProvider (use customProvider), experimental_generateImage and the Experimental_GenerateImageResult type (use generateImage / GenerateImageResult), isToolOrDynamicToolUIPart (use isToolUIPart), the ToolCallOptions type (use ToolExecutionOptions), and the experimental_output option and generateText result property (use output / result.output).  [✓0 ✗0]
1. The guide says experimental_transcribe, experimental_generateSpeech, CallSettings and stepCountIs remain as deprecated aliases in v7 (renamed to transcribe, generateSpeech, LanguageModelCallOptions & Omit<RequestOptions, 'timeout'>, isStepCount); on ai 7.0.163 these imports still load.  [✓0 ✗0]
2. Reproduced 2026-11-04 on the box with ai 7.0.163 on Node.js 24: `import { experimental_customProvider } from 'ai'` fails with SyntaxError: The requested module 'ai' does not provide an export named 'experimental_customProvider' (same for experimental_generateImage, isToolOrDynamicToolUIPart, experimental_output); tsc 5 reports error TS2305: Module '"ai"' has no exported member 'ToolCallOptions'.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Run `npx @ai-sdk/codemod v7` (codemods remove-experimental-custom-provider, remove-experimental-generate-image, remove-is-tool-or-dynamic-tool-uipart, remove-tool-call-options-type, replace-experimental-output-with-output) or rename by hand: customProvider, generateImage / GenerateImageResult, isToolUIPart, ToolExecutionOptions, output / result.output.
```

## Error signatures
- substring: `The requested module 'ai' does not provide an export named 'experimental_customProvider'` (reproduced on ai 7.0.163 (V8 export template))
- substring: `The requested module 'ai' does not provide an export named 'experimental_generateImage'` (reproduced on ai 7.0.163)
- substring: `The requested module 'ai' does not provide an export named 'isToolOrDynamicToolUIPart'` (reproduced on ai 7.0.163)
- substring: `The requested module 'ai' does not provide an export named 'experimental_output'` (reproduced on ai 7.0.163)
- substring: `Module '"ai"' has no exported member 'ToolCallOptions'.` (tsc 5 TS2305 on ai 7.0.163)
