+- **feat(routing):** subscription-first auto groupings — `auto/subscription` routes only through plan-included connections with a documented hard-stop overage and fails closed on exhaustion, while `auto/thrifty` orders the pool `subscription → keyless → free → cheap → premium` and steps up one rung at a time as each is exhausted. Billing class comes from a curated per-connection catalog (uncurated is treated as metered, never plan-included), both reuse STRICT_ZERO_COST's per-connection verification, and a quota reading whose `resetAt` has passed is now refreshed regardless of TTL so routing returns to plan capacity as soon as it resets ([#11146](https://github.com/diegosouzapw/OmniRoute/pull/11146))
