What probably matters to you Section of the release
Unclear Which settings file or key lets you set auth.google is not known.
What
The gateway can forward telemetry (usage and performance data in the OpenTelemetry, or OTel, format) to other services listed under telemetry.forward_to. Those destinations used to send only fixed headers you wrote yourself.
A forward_to entry can now set auth.google , including auth.google.service_account_json , to sign in with a Google service account.
When it is set, the exporter fetches Google access headers, caches them per destination, removes any Authorization header and adds the Google ones before sending. Other headers you set are kept.
auth.google requires an https googleapis.com URL and no Authorization header of your own.
Separately, the gateway's model list now marks models whose metadata has supports_1m_beta with supports1m: true. claude-sonnet-4-0 , claude-sonnet-4-5 , and any config whose environment sets CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT are left out.
Why
You can send gateway telemetry straight to Google Cloud collectors without making tokens by hand or writing a helper for headers. The model list change lets gateway users see which models offer the 1M context window.
How sure we are
Something disagrees Something we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubt Which settings file or key lets you set `auth.google` is not known.

Names in this entry
setting auth.google Each gateway telemetry.forward_to destination can now authenticate with a Google service account instead of only fixed headers
model claude-sonnet-4-0 Switching to any Sonnet model name ending in [1m] now checks for 1M-context access, except four older Sonnet models
model claude-sonnet-4-5 Writing a file you have not read is now decided locally by model and permissions, not a server flag.
env CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT Set to 1 to disable 1M context window support. When set, 1M model variants are unavailable in the model picker, and Claude Code holds sessions on models with a native 1M window, such as Sonnet 5.5 and the Fable models, to a 200K window; see Extended context for how the hold is enforced. Useful for enterprise environments with compliance requirements. For its role in correcting the window for an unrecognized [1m] model ID, see Correct the window for a gateway or custom model ID
