A fresh deploy builds and runs, but the default anthropic/claude-opus-4.8 routes through the Vercel AI Gateway, which returns "Free tier users do not have access to this model" without paid credits. Document the gateway-credits requirement and the no-gateway direct-provider path (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) in ENVIRONMENT.md and the README Deploy step.

Why
Deploy verification surfaced this: a fresh deploy builds and the app runs, but the default
anthropic/claude-opus-4.8routes through the Vercel AI Gateway, which returns "Free tier users do not have access to this model" at request time unless the account has paid gateway credits. So a new deployer can't browse out of the box and the cause isn't obvious.Changes (docs only)
docs/ENVIRONMENT.md— restructures the model-credential section into two clear paths: A) AI Gateway (with a callout that it needs paid credits) and B) direct provider (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, no gateway/credits).README.md— adds a note under the Deploy step pointing at the same.No code changes.
