[Description]
[tag v0.0.3]
nemoclaw deploy fails to create new Brev instance — brev create --gpu flag not recognized by current brev CLI

[Environment]
Device: macOS 26.1 (Apple M4, arm64)
NemoClaw: v0.0.3 (git tag)
Brev CLI: latest (installed via brew)

[Steps to Reproduce]

  1. On macOS with brev CLI installed and authenticated
  2. Run: nemoclaw deploy test-instance

[Expected Result]
Brev instance created, NemoClaw deployed

[Actual Result]

$ nemoclaw deploy test-deploy-0402
Creating Brev instance 'test-deploy-0402' (a2-highgpu-1g:nvidia-tesla-a100:1)...
unknown flag: --gpu
Command failed (exit 1): brev create 'test-deploy-0402' --gpu 'a2-highgpu-1g:nvidia-tesla-a100:1'

Root Cause:
nemoclaw.js line 691 uses --gpu flag.
Current brev CLI uses --gpu-name or pipe: brev search --gpu-name A100 | brev create my-instance

(.venv) ➜  NemoClaw git:(v0.0.3) ✗ brev create --help 2>&1 | grep -i gpu

Create GPU instances with automatic retry across multiple instance types.
This command attempts to create GPU instances, trying different instance types
You can use the same filter flags as 'brev search' to control which GPU types
the command automatically searches for GPUs matching either your filters or defaults:
  # Create with a specific GPU type
  brev search --gpu-name A100 | brev create my-instance
  -g, --gpu-name string          Filter by GPU name (e.g., A100, H100)
      --min-capability float     Minimum GPU compute capability (e.g., 8.0)
  -v, --min-vram float           Minimum VRAM per GPU in GB
(.venv) ➜  NemoClaw git:(v0.0.3) ✗
