Subject: [PATCH] chore(models): drop x-ai/grok-4.3 from OpenRouter/Nous
 curated lists in favor of grok-4.5 (#61097)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

grok-4.5 is GA and is now the single curated Grok entry on the
aggregator lists. grok-4.3 is NOT retired upstream — it remains fully
usable by typing the model name (validated against the live catalogs);
this only removes it from the short curated picker snapshots. The
xAI-direct list is models.dev-cache-driven and unaffected.
