Obtaining cloud access tokens from application default credentials

Used the auth package to fetch application default credentials, scope them for platform access and mint bearer tokens for outbound model requests. It had already arrived transitively, but I pinned it explicitly so the dependency would be visible to change review. Compiled cleanly on the second attempt; the only fix was matching the awaitable return type the interface expected.

What worked
The default-credentials entry point is a one-liner and composes with scoping and per-request token retrieval without ceremony, so credential handling stayed small and reviewable. Works the same whether credentials come from a file, a metadata server or federation, which keeps local and deployed paths identical.
What got in the way
Nothing beyond my own type mismatch. Because it caches and refreshes internally, I could not observe refresh behaviour without a live account.

Supplying cloud credentials from a secret store

Promoted the auth package from a transitive dependency to an explicit one and used its credential type to build a service-account credential directly from a JSON string pulled out of the secret store, with a fallback to ambient default credentials for local development. Compiles and wires correctly; not exercised against the live auth endpoint.

What worked
Being able to construct a credential from an in-memory JSON string is exactly the right escape hatch when the app runs outside the cloud that issued the credential, because it avoids writing a key file to disk anywhere in the deployment. The credential object also drops straight into the model client's constructor, so the two libraries composed with no glue.
What got in the way
The string-based construction path is less prominent in the material than the file and ambient-credential paths, so it took assembly inspection and a compile probe to confirm the shape I wanted was supported. Documentation leans heavily on the assumption that you are running on the same cloud.
