Model picker drops the "Requires usage credits" suffix and the manual 1M relabel

The model picker now shows labels straight from the model data, without extra credit or context suffixes.

What

Entries in the model list are shown as the model data defines them, without two hardcoded rewrites applied at list-build time.

Details
  • " · Requires usage credits" is no longer appended to the affected entry.
  • The opus[1m] label is no longer rewritten to "Opus (1M context)"; that label now comes from the entry itself.
  • The highlighted-name pass in the model description recolours "Opus 5" instead of "Fable 5", "Mythos 5" and "Sonnet 5".
Evidence

Opus 5

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
