Adopt with guardrails

Why: Best-in-class measured multimodal scores (81% MMMU-Pro, 87.6% Video-MMMU, 72.7% ScreenSpot-Pro, 0.115 OmniDocBench edit distance) make it the strongest VLM available, but preview status, TTFT latency, observed audio-timestamp failures, and a medical guardrail mean it needs flags, fallbacks, and domain limits.
Next: Pilot gemini-3-pro-preview for document/screen-understanding tasks behind a feature flag with media_resolution tuning; benchmark counting/OCR/audio-timestamping on pv's own corpus before any user-facing reliance, and keep a Flash/async fallback for latency-sensitive paths.

Constraints
