    "incantation": "When connecting Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Pi with an existing AI Gateway key, run the setup command with `--key <key>` and select the client with `--agent <name>` if needed. The command configures the selected client without pinning a default model, as stated in the release note.",

      "Version: 56.0.0",
      "--key <KEY>: Use an existing AI Gateway API key instead of creating one.",
      "--agent <NAME>: Select an agent to configure; repeatable. Supported values: claude-code, codex, opencode, pi.",
      "Claude Code configuration honors `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`; edits existing config in place, preserves keys and formatting, skips unparseable configs, masks the key in output, is idempotent, and emits a structured JSON result in non-interactive mode.",
      "Codex writes a `vercel` model provider with an OpenAI-compatible base URL and `responses` wire API, honors `CODEX_HOME` and fish/`ZDOTDIR`, and edits existing assignments in place while preserving comments and formatting.",
      "OpenCode honors `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`; with macOS Keychain in use, the key stays out of config and is resolved at runtime from `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY` exported by the shell rc.",
      "Pi creates `~/.pi/agent/auth.json` with mode `0600` and honors `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`."
