frugon v0.2.3

A timed comparison checkpoint, an upfront disclosure for the demo's --measure try-out, and a routing fix for Mistral's newest model.

Improved

The "Compared" checkpoint now shows its own elapsed time, and the live progress bar names the comparison stage while it runs. Ranking a couple dozen candidates against the baseline is real work — you'd see ✓ Compared 23 candidates sit there with no indication of how long it took or that anything was happening. It now reads ✓ Compared 23 candidates in 0.9s, and the bar itself switches from "Pricing" to "Comparing 23 candidates…" the moment pricing finishes, so the trail never goes quiet.
frugon analyze --demo --measure now tells you upfront why it only needs an OpenAI key. The demo's recommendation is computed against the full model roster, same as a real run — but its --measure try-out samples a single pinned model so anyone can run it with just OPENAI_API_KEY, no multi-provider key hunt. That's now disclosed at the point it happens, not just in the fine print afterward, and the --measure --help text and README say the same thing.

mistral-large-3 (and the whole bare mistral-* family) now routes correctly for --measure. LiteLLM doesn't infer a provider from a bare Mistral model name the way it does for OpenAI or Anthropic — a --measure run against mistral-large-3 was failing with a generic "bad request" instead of actually sampling the model. It now routes through mistral/ automatically.
