Product Name Mapping

The platform is now called **Gemini platform**; users may still call it Vertex AI, Agent Platform, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, or GEAP. Map the product names users give to the correct CLI values:

| User may say | CLI value | |-------------|-----------| | Agent Runtime, Agent Engine, Vertex AI Agent Engine | `--deployment-target agent_runtime` | | Sessions in Gemini platform, managed sessions, Agent Engine sessions, Agent Platform Sessions | `--session-type agent_platform_sessions` | | Search or Vector Search in Gemini platform, Vertex AI Search, Vertex AI Vector Search, RAG | clone-and-study recipe, not a flag (see `/google-agents-cli-adk-code` → `references/recipes.md`) | | Gemini, Gemini Enterprise (publish destination) | `agents-cli publish gemini` |

`google-cloud-aiplatform`, ships two importable packages: the older `vertexai` and the newer `agentplatform`. New code should import `agentplatform`.

Questions about terminology.

Which coding agents can use terminology?
terminology installs in Claude Code and Cursor: each loads subagents from .claude/agents, so copy the file there. Flowy's auto-invocation runs in Claude Code only.
