OpenRouter sometimes returns a dated snapshot ID as the response model
(request deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash -> response model
deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-20260423). The pricing chain missed the
registry on those IDs and booked the conservative $10/$30 per-M
estimate: today's prod single-pass run logged $0.582 against a true
flash-tier cost of roughly 1-2 cents. Inflated actuals eat the
Cost_Governor per-run ceiling (default $0.50; today's run would have
halted) and the monthly $5 budget gate (~9 days to self-block).
Fix at the single pricing seam (OpenRouter_Pricing::estimate_cost):
on a lookup miss, strip a trailing 8-digit 20-prefixed -YYYYMMDD
snapshot suffix and retry the hardcoded table + cached models list
once with the base ID. The conservative fallback is unchanged when
the base ID is also unknown. Governor reserve/settle and
generation-log booking all price through this seam, so every path
survives snapshot IDs.
Tests: snapshot ID resolves to the base price when only the base ID
is registered; an unknown ID without a suffix still gets the
conservative estimate; a non-date trailing digit run (foo-202612345)
is never stripped.
