Recommended action: In Node set GEMINI_API_KEY or project+location (ADC); in browsers use an API key (or ephemeral token for Live only) and never project auth; include the cloud-platform scope in custom googleAuthOptions.
Option: Match auth to runtime [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Google Gen AI SDK for JavaScript (@google/genai) / client auth (node/web)
Steps:
1. Node: GEMINI_API_KEY or {vertexai:true, project, location} with ADC
2. Browser: apiKey only (proxy sensitive calls through a server)
3. Custom scopes: include https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
Expected: Client authenticates
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
