feat(ai): curated OpenRouter model picker for hybrid backend

Add OPENROUTER_ALLOWED_MODELS env var and GET /insights/openrouter/models
endpoint returning the curated list verbatim. Drop the live capability
precheck in hybrid mode — trust the operator's allowlist; bad ids surface
as a chat-call error.
