+## Google Gemini (OAuth)
+
+Uses Google OAuth with PKCE (S256) for authentication — no API key required.
+On first run, a browser opens for Google account login. Credentials (including
+refresh token) are saved to `~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json` with `0600` permissions.

+LLM_BACKEND=gemini_oauth

+### Supported features
+
+| Feature | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Function calling | ✅ | `functionDeclarations` / `functionCall` / `functionResponse` |
+| `generationConfig` | ✅ | `temperature`, `maxOutputTokens` passed from request |
+| `thinkingConfig` | ✅ | `thinkingBudget`/`thinkingLevel` for thinking-capable models (does NOT set `includeThoughts`) |

+### Cloud Code API vs standard API
+
+Models containing `-preview` (with hyphen) or `gemini-3` in the name, as well
+as any `gemini-` model with major version >= 2, route through the Cloud Code
+API (`cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`) which supports SSE streaming
