Working-tree changes that had accumulated without being committed. The test

- Caller dialog moves from Haiku 4.5 to Sonnet 4.6 (~$1/show to ~$3-4/show)
- Grok pinned to x-ai/grok-4.3; grok-4, grok-4-fast and grok-4.1-fast were
retired from OpenRouter, and llm.py swallows the 404 and returns empty text,
so a retired id makes callers go silent with nothing in the logs
- Devon's web_search now runs against SearXNG on the NAS
- Assorted TTS, audio, news, cost tracker and control-panel changes
