Can I switch models later without touching Claude Code again?
Yes, the endpoint stays the same; the model is a string. Any catalog id works in the same configuration, including cheaper tiers for bulk work.
Why run Gemini inside Claude Code instead of Gemini CLI?
Harness maturity, if your team already lives in Claude Code (hooks, MCP servers, workflows), switching the brain is one flag; switching the harness is a migration.
