Same TUI, same tools — Anthropic runs byte-faithful passthrough, and OpenAI, xAI, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint work through request/stream translation. Every token metered, routed by size, and checked against a budget. Sessions can now find and message each other by name.

Dates show when a record was saved. Some older records use the listing’s update date; they are not proof of a fresh check. Missing source records are shown explicitly.
