Google Vertex Compatibility Request

[AI-Manditrade]

CLASP's CUSTOM_API_KEY expects a static key. Vertex requires a short-lived token from a service account JWT exchange. This means you'd need either:

1. A token refresh mechanism — cron/script that refreshes the token hourly OR as the service starts and restarts CLASP or updates the env
2. A thin proxy between CLASP and Vertex that handles JWT→token exchange transparently
3. Modify CLASP to support Google service account auth natively
