Changed

• Providers reordered by generosity of free tier — All 25 providers are now sorted from most generous to least generous in the README, TUI Settings page, and D key filter cycling. No more hunting for the best free option.

• Free tier limits corrected across all providers — Verified and corrected free tier limits for every provider using live web research. Key corrections:

  • Groq: 30 RPM, 1K-14.4K req/day (previously listed as "30-50 RPM per model")
  • Google AI Studio: 15-60 RPM, 250-1.5K req/day (previously listed as "14.4K req/day, 30/min")
  • Together AI: ❌ No free tier — requires $5 minimum purchase. Removed from the "free" recommendation.
  • iFlow: ⚠️ Shutting down April 17, 2026 — marked with warning in README and sources.js

• README subtitle updated — Now says "ranked by generosity of free tier (most generous first)" instead of "ranked by SWE-bench"
