ADK Deployment Guide

Requires: agents-cli (uv tool install google-agents-cli) — install uv first if needed.

Prefer using the agents-cli commands throughout this guide — they wrap Terraform, Docker, and deployment into a tested pipeline. If your project isn't scaffolded yet, see /google-agents-cli-scaffold to add deployment support first.
