Summary

• Discord rusty chat calls OpenRouter's free models instead of Gemini, and the free pool leaves out content-safety guards whose only reply is a verdict like User Safety: safe.
• Hidden reasoning is stripped before a reply is posted or stored, and authorization is applied as a system instruction rather than being pasted into the prompt.
• When a request fails, the bot and AI logs record the OpenRouter status, error text, and whether the poll timed out, instead of only the generic Discord line.

Test plan

• In the configured channel, send rusty plus a short question and confirm a normal reply with no think tags or User Safety: verdict.
• Confirm swecc-ai logs OpenRouter served model= and that model is not nvidia/nemotron-3.5-content-safety:free.
• Stop the AI service and send another rusty message. Discord still shows the generic failure, and swecc-bot logs the HTTP or transport detail.
• Send a message without rusty, and one outside the configured channel from a non-officer, and confirm the bot stays silent.
