Subject: [PATCH] fix(models): delist openrouter/elephant-alpha (no longer
 served by OpenRouter)

Live /api/v1/models probe (2026-08-27) confirms the id is gone from the
catalog, so the curated picker entry was a dead pick. Manifest
regenerated. No provider-agnostic metadata existed for the slug.

Delist credit: @orouge97 flagged this in PR #80036.
