Agent Platform Workbench

Renamed Vertex AI Workbench — general ML development

BigQuery notebook

In-place analysis, no separate compute provisioned

Best practice: build a Workstation's container image from the same base image CI uses. That shared lineage is the actual mechanism that eliminates "works on my machine" drift.
