cd49868aec157992132a3a5b7648164f44d8fee9 · 2026-09-08 15:22:49 -0700 · Steve Abrams

New MODELS entry, provider openrouter (openai/gpt-6-astra), OPENAI-native path
blocked by project spend limit so routed through the working OpenRouter key.
Probe-verified (ASTRA OK); live battles need OpenRouter credits (currently $0).
