[Bug] Gemini Code Assist locked to forced GCP Project and deprecated model (gemini-3-pro-preview), ignoring all local settings #1219

Description:
My Gemini Code Assist extension is permanently stuck in "Standard or Enterprise" mode. It forces a specific Google Cloud Project ID (gothic-footing-l6tln) into my settings and locks the model to the deprecated gemini-3-pro-preview. I am unable to switch to my Individual Pro subscription.

Steps to Reproduce:

Sign in to Gemini Code Assist using my Google account.

The extension automatically fills in the geminicodeassist.project setting with gothic-footing-l6tln.

Manually clear the project ID in settings.json and set "geminicodeassist.subscriptionType": "Individual".

Restart VS Code and log in again.

The extension forcibly overwrites settings.json, brings the project ID back, and defaults to gemini-3-pro-preview.

Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken (None worked):

Disabled VS Code Settings Sync.

Cleared settings.json manually.

Deleted local Windows Credentials (SSO_POP_User, SSO_POP_Device).

Uninstalled and reinstalled the extension.

The GCP project gothic-footing-l6tln cannot be deleted or managed from my end, creating an infinite loop where I cannot disable the API on the cloud side.

Expected Behavior:
The extension should allow me to bypass the GCP project requirement, use my Individual subscription, and connect to the current gemini-3.1-pro model. There should be a way to forcefully unlink a dead GCP project from the IDE UI.

Environment:

OS: Windows

IDE: VS Code

Extension Version: 2.78
