Jeroen UbbinkandClaude Fable 5 df4d4c44e6 fix: fail over with each candidate provider's own model
The failover loop resolved a single Model for the request and reused it
for every provider: a fallback provider was asked to serve the routing
winner's model id and billed at the winner's pricing and fee. The alias
map now keeps (model, provider) candidate pairs, the proxy rebinds both
per attempt, and forwarding, max-cost echo, and settlement all use the
candidate actually being tried. On a failover serve the response's
model field now names the serving candidate's id.

The unified candidate lookup also applies the version-suffix strip
(-YYYYMMDD) that model resolution already had, so version-suffixed
requests no longer resolve a model yet 400 with "no provider found".

"""Create optimal model mappings based on cost and provider preferences.
This is the main entry point for the algorithm. It processes all upstream providers
and creates three mappings based on cost optimization:
1. model_instances: alias -> Model (all model aliases mapped to their Model objects)
2. provider_map: alias -> List[(Model, UpstreamProvider)] (sorted candidate
list for each alias; each provider is paired with ITS OWN model so
failover can forward and bill the candidate that actually serves)
3. unique_models: base_id -> Model (unique models without provider prefixes)
The algorithm:
- Processes non-OpenRouter providers first (they're typically cheaper)
- Then processes OpenRouter models (they can still win if cheaper)
- For each model alias, collects all candidates and sorts them by priority and cost.
