The Gemini reusable defaults to `gemini-2.5-pro`, which is Gemini's flagship tier and the wrong cost/quality match for routine PR review. Claude's reviewer uses Sonnet 4.6 (mid-tier); the apples-to-apples Gemini peer is Flash, not Pro. This also resolves the quota failure on the first dual-reviewer run — `gemini-2.5-pro` has no free-tier allocation on the project behind this repo's `GEMINI_API_KEY` (HTTP 429 with `limit: 0, model: gemini-2.5-pro`), while `gemini-2.5-flash` typically has free-tier capacity. When the reusable's default flips to Flash this override becomes redundant.

Summary
The Gemini reusable defaults to
gemini-2.5-pro(flagship tier) which is a tier mismatch for routine PR review. Claude's reviewer uses Sonnet 4.6 (mid-tier); the apples-to-apples Gemini peer is Flash, not Pro.This also resolves the quota failure observed on PR #80's first run —
gemini-2.5-prohas no free-tier allocation on the project behind this repo'sGEMINI_API_KEY(HTTP 429 withlimit: 0, model: gemini-2.5-pro).gemini-2.5-flashtypically has free-tier capacity.Once the reusable's default flips to Flash this override becomes redundant; we can drop it then.
Why Flash, not Pro
Pro should be reserved for thorough review modes (mirroring how Opus is reserved on the Claude side via the deep-review flow), not routine per-PR work.
