    "incantation": "When creating a transport attached to an NCC hub, use `--hub` and optionally `--auto-accept` and `--psc-routing-enabled`; `--network` is optional in the current reference. Provide either an activation key or the bandwidth, remote account ID, and remote profile required to generate one.",
    "examples": [
      "gcloud beta network-connectivity transports create <transport> --bandwidth <bandwidth> --remote-account-id <remote-account-id> --remote-profile <remote-profile> --hub <hub> --auto-accept --psc-routing-enabled"

    "gotchas": [
      "TRANSPORT (required): Transport ID or fully qualified identifier.",
      "--activation-key (required): Use this or the key-generation arguments; the reference requires exactly one of these alternatives.",
      "--bandwidth (required): For key generation, provide with `--remote-account-id` and `--remote-profile`; must be supported by the remote profile.",
      "--remote-account-id (required): For key generation, account ID at the remote provider; required with the other key-generation arguments.",
      "--remote-profile (required): For key generation, remote transport profile; required with the other key-generation arguments.",
      "--network: VPC network to peer with the provider; the hub option is an alternative to this network option.",
      "--hub: Hub to attach the transport to; used in the NCC hub option instead of `--network`.",
      "--auto-accept: Whether to auto-accept spoke proposals for this transport.",
      "--psc-routing-enabled: Whether to create a VPC spoke for PSC routing over the transport.",
      "The `--network` flag is optional.",
      "Docs conflict: The current reference, last updated 2026-06-16, lists `--network` and the `--hub` option as mutually exclusive alternatives; this conflicts with the card's statement that `--network` is optional. The reference does not say that both may be omitted.",
