Advise on Google Cloud authentication and authorization patterns — covering Application Default Credentials (ADC), service account best practices, Workload Identity Federation (for GKE pods and external workloads), human user auth (gcloud, IAP, Identity Platform), service-to-service auth (OIDC ID tokens, short-lived credentials), and anti-patterns like service account key downloads. Use when designing auth flows, debugging GCP auth failures, implementing least-privilege SA setup, or migrating from SA keys to keyless authentication.
