Add Vertex AI backend for orgs that disallow raw API keys - #4
Conversation
The existing "gemini" backend only talks to the API-key-only Generative Language API, which some GCP orgs disallow outright via policy. Adds a "vertex" backend using google-genai's Vertex AI mode, authenticated via Application Default Credentials (service account, Workload Identity Federation, or `gcloud auth application-default login`) instead of a static key -- no env_key/env_keys, following the same keyless pattern already used for the "bedrock" backend's AWS credential chain. Configured via GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT (required) and GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION (defaults to us-central1), with GRAPHIFY_VERTEX_MODEL to override the default gemini-2.5-flash. Thinking is disabled by default (thinking_budget=0) -- confirmed live that a small max_output_tokens can otherwise be silently consumed entirely by (billed, never-returned) thinking tokens before any extraction JSON is emitted, and thinking traces carry no value for a fixed-schema extraction task anyway. Verified end-to-end against a real GCP project: auto-detection via GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT, the plain-text call path, and the full JSON extraction path (including token accounting) all confirmed working.

Correct the Vertex cost rates.
Standard Gemini 2.5 Flash pricing is $0.30 per 1M input tokens and $2.50 per 1M text output tokens. This configuration reports $0.50 and $3.00, so estimate_cost overstates standard Vertex costs. (cloud.google.com)

Default an empty location to us-central1.
If GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION is set to an empty value, this passes location="" to the client instead of using the documented default. This can make an otherwise valid Vertex configuration fail.

Preserve the hollow finish reason.
This branch converts empty or unparsable non-truncated responses into length. The adaptive retry contract bisects length responses, but it retries hollow responses unchanged. A transient or filtered Vertex response can therefore cause repeated smaller billed calls instead of the intended retry.
Proposed fix

- print(
- "[graphify] vertex returned a hollow response; treating as "
- "truncation so adaptive retry can bisect the chunk.",

GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT is often set globally for other GCP tools (gcloud, terraform, etc.), not specifically for graphify. An explicit Ollama configuration (OLLAMA_BASE_URL/OLLAMA_HOST) should not be shadowed by an ambient GCP environment variable. Fixes the finding: 'Vertex autodetection shadows explicit Ollama configuration'

Closed - already merged into v8 branch via merge commit c590378. The Vertex AI backend is now live in the fork's v8 branch and ready to use. Upstream PR: Graphify-Labs#3083 |
Fixes graphify-brain-refresh workflow failure (run 32878010795) where vertex backend rejected GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT even when set. **Problem**: graphify cli.py's pre-flight check had no allow-no-key exemption for vertex backend (unlike ollama/bedrock/claude-cli), so it always rejected vertex regardless of GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT being present. **Fix**: Install graphify from eliorerz/graphify@1a122e1 (feat/vertex-ai-backend branch) which adds the missing vertex check. Will revert to PyPI install once the next graphify release includes this fix. **Related**: - graphify fix: eliorerz/graphify#4 - Upstream PR: Graphify-Labs/graphify#3083 <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Chores** * Updated the automated brain refresh process to use a pinned Graphify source revision. * Improved consistency and reproducibility of refresh runs. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
Same change as upstream PR: Graphify-Labs#3083 — opening here first for review before/independent of that landing.
