Diego Rodrigues de Sa e Souza 371c10ea5f feat(sse): Cheaper Inference provider — chat + native Responses + images, sponsor rail 2nd (#9043)
Registers Cheaper Inference (api.cheaperinference.com) as an OSS-sponsor gateway provider.

- Canonical provider `cheaperinference` (alias `cinf`) + routing registry with 39 measured text models
- Dedicated executor: forces `store:false` on the native /v1/responses endpoint (the shared strip in
  chatCore.ts deletes `store` for every provider != openai, so without this every Responses request
  400'd) and resolves chat-vs-responses URL from the per-model targetFormat
- 3 image models (grok-imagine, nano-banana-pro, nano-banana-2), prefix-only: the two nano-banana ids
  already belong to adobe-firefly, which keeps the bare-id routing
- Resale pricing measured from GET /v1/models (30% off list); sponsor rail Kimi 1st / Cheaper
  Inference 2nd via an explicit rank map; supporter badge in 43 locales; README row

No quota card: the gateway exposes no balance API (/v1/wallet and /v1/balance both 404).

Validated live end-to-end through OmniRoute: chat, native Responses, streaming and image generation
all 200 with real content; the Firefly collision guard verified at runtime.

// guards the two invariants the provider gates enforce (Zod shape + a registry
// entry that maps back to a canonical provider).
