dsh-openrouter-free

The OpenRouter route in DSH has a quiet but recurring pain point: its models catalog never refreshes on its own. To use the many $0 in / $0 out models that openrouter.ai serves, you would otherwise have to hand-edit settings.yaml entry by entry—filling in IDs, checking context windows, and guessing which ones support reasoning. dsh-openrouter-free automates that entire loop.

On launch the plugin adds a "Free Models" tab to the GUI session view, pulling the real-time list of every zero-cost model on openrouter.ai (name, ID, context window, image and reasoning support) with a ten-minute cache and manual force-refresh. One click on any row upserts that model into the openrouter route AND writes it into the current session via the native sessionController, so the very next request picks it up without a restart. The switch also probes the model for the highest reasoning effort it actually supports (high → medium → low) and strips reasoningEffort entirely when none applies, eliminating UNSUPPORTED_REASONING_EFFORT errors at the source. Throughout, only free-model entries are touched; any hand-tuned routes you maintain (stealth, ox-alpha, etc.) are preserved as-is.

If you run inference on DeepSeek Harness and like to experiment with or cut costs using OpenRouter's free tier, this plugin collapses the "browse → configure → tune" cycle into a single click on a panel.
