Recommended action: Pick one auth path: API key (Developer API or Vertex express), or ADC/credentials with project+location; set only GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_ENTERPRISE going forward. Option: Single auth path [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Google Gen AI SDK (python-genai) / Client initialization Steps: 1. Unset GOOGLE_API_KEY/GEMINI_API_KEY when using ADC 2. Provide project+location for vertexai/enterprise 3. Use only GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_ENTERPRISE Expected: Client targets intended backend Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
