chore(ai-gateway): deprecate legacy auto models

[chrarnoldus]

Summary

• Mark Auto Frontier and Auto Balanced as deprecated in their display names.
• Remove both models from the preferred model list so they are no longer prioritized or recommended.
• Make Auto Efficient the global client, bot, KiloClaw onboarding, and Organization Auto fallback default.
• Promote Auto Efficient in the KiloClaw model picker while retaining legacy model support.

Verification

• Not run per request; validation is deferred to CI.

Visual Changes

The KiloClaw model picker now promotes Auto Efficient instead of Auto Frontier and Auto Balanced.

Reviewer Notes

Existing Auto Balanced and Auto Frontier configurations remain valid; only new defaults and recommendations move to Auto Efficient.

WARNING

File	Line	Issue
apps/web/src/lib/ai-gateway/models.ts	62	Deprecation is partial: /api/defaults still returns kilo-auto/balanced as defaultModel, DEFAULT_BOT_MODEL is still kilo-auto/frontier, and KiloClaw onboarding / org-auto fallbacks still point at the deprecated models — confirm scope or migrate them to kilo-auto/efficient.

Files Reviewed (2 files)

• apps/web/src/lib/ai-gateway/auto-model/index.ts - 0 issues (display-name-only change; formatName handles the (deprecated) suffix and no code matches on the old names)
• apps/web/src/lib/ai-gateway/models.ts - 1 issue (preferredModels removal is handled gracefully by all consumers; remaining defaults still reference the deprecated models)
