docs: stop naming the upstream conduit, and stop pricing against it - #74

Two separate leaks, both public. Routing disclosure. The changelog named the wholesale conduit four times: two free models "serve from OpenRouter's $0 pool"; the DeepSeek vision entry volunteered that "the OpenRouter route is unavailable under our account's data policy" (the conduit AND our account state); grok-4.5 was "verified on both the direct-xAI and OpenRouter routes"; and the long-context tier was attributed to "xAI (and OpenRouter)". None of that is ours to publish — it is the same class src/lib/models-description-leak.test.ts pins for model descriptions, just written in prose instead. Every measurement survives. The free-tier entry keeps 4.9s against 16.3s and the 1M-token context; it now says the models moved to a larger free-tier pool with their previous route as the fallback, which is the part a caller can act on. Price parity. "we match OpenRouter" / "no margin, matches OpenRouter" appeared on the pricing sheet, the intelligence overview and the models API reference. It reads as "OpenRouter is what is behind us". The claim that carries the weight is 0% platform margin on chat tokens, and each of those sentences already states it — the competitor's name was doing no work, so it is gone rather than reworded. Comparison pages are untouched: naming OpenRouter as a competitor is deliberate positioning, not a routing disclosure.
Found by the prose guard added alongside this change (blockrun src/lib/upstream-disclosure-prose.test.ts), not by grepping — the sweep derives its forbidden words from CONDUIT_PROVIDERS, which is openrouter AND token360, and every hand-written pass had only looked for the first. "Token360 charges nothing for asset storage" names the white-label upstream behind portrait enrolment, which displayProvider() exists to rewrite to bytedance everywhere else. The price history and the reason for the cut are unchanged.

Vicky, 2026-09-03: 「我们现在官网还说我们的背后就是 openrouter 这个要改啊」. Two separate leaks, both public.
