v0.12.227

v0.12.227 — July 17, 2026

The picker and every user-facing surface now match the advertised blockrun.ai catalog (verified against the live /v1/models on 2026-07-17, mirroring the same alignment shipped in hermes-plugin-clawrouter 0.3.10).

Changed — top-models picker aligned with the advertised catalog

• src/top-models.json goes 47 → 44 entries. Removed the 7 ids no longer advertised by the gateway: xai/grok-4-0709, xai/grok-4-1-fast-reasoning, xai/grok-3, free/gpt-oss-120b, free/gpt-oss-20b, free/qwen3.5-122b-a10b, free/llama-4-maverick. Added the 4 newly advertised free models: free/mistral-nemotron, free/step-3.7-flash, free/nemotron-nano-9b-v2, free/nemotron-nano-12b-v2-vl — the free block now equals the live 8-model NVIDIA tier exactly.
• Router internals are untouched on purpose: the removed ids stay hidden-but-routable at the gateway (verified against blockrun source — catalog available:true, hidden:true, or MODEL_REDIRECTS to a successor), so existing fallback chains and pinned users keep working. This only changes what pickers advertise. The allowlist sync in index.ts/update.sh prunes the stale blockrun/* keys from users' configs on next start.
• top-models.test.ts sentinels re-pinned (grok-4.5, claude-fable-5, free/step-3.7-flash in; retired ids asserted out).

Fixed — image aliases pointed at models the gateway can no longer serve

• dalle/dall-e/dall-e-3 aliases (models.ts + /cr-imagegen) targeted openai/dall-e-3, which the gateway 400s ("Delisted 2026-05-25: OpenAI removed dall-e-3 from the API"). They now route to the successor openai/gpt-image-2. flux/flux-pro targeted black-forest/flux-1.1-pro, which has no gateway entry at all — removed.
• New aliases for the current image catalog: gpt-image-2, seedream (→ bytedance/seedream-5-pro), and /cr-imagegen parity aliases for grok-imagine/grok-imagine-pro/cogview. IMAGE_PRICING drops the two dead entries and adds bytedance/seedream-5-pro ($0.045 base / $0.09 at 2K-class, matching blockrun's IMAGE_MODELS). The images usage-log fallback model is now google/nano-banana (the real /cr-imagegen default) instead of dead dall-e-3.

Changed — README + skills refreshed to the current catalog

• README: free-tier references switch from retired nvidia/gpt-oss-120b to free/mistral-large-3-675b (the new default free model); the free pricing block lists the live 8; grok-4.5 gets a pricing row ($2.50/$9.00, 500K); rows for grok-4-0709/grok-4-1-fast-reasoning/grok-3/grok-3-mini removed; kimi-k2.6 → kimi-k2.7; routing-tier examples use advertised models only; image table now shows gpt-image-2 + seedream; ~38 → ~44 model-count mentions.
• skills/clawrouter/SKILL.md: the "7 free" vs "8 free" contradiction is fixed (it's 8), Available Models adds claude-fable-5 + grok-4.5 and drops retired ids, image tool row updated.
• skills/imagegen/SKILL.md: dalle/flux rows replaced with gpt-image-2 + seedream (with the legacy-alias note), triggers and size guidance updated.
