Mounts (`claude.mounts` in the same file): Mount `$HOME/.config/gcloud` read-only for application default credentials Also mount `~/.claude` and `~/.claude.json` (optional) No `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` when using Vertex; credentials come from the mounted gcloud config. kdn README: Claude Code with Vertex AI
