Subject: [PATCH] feat(models): add grok-4.6 and make it the xAI flagship

Verified every field against xAI's live API with the staging hosted key:
context_length 500000, $2.00/$0.50/$6.00 per 1M, temperature capped at 2,
tool calling and max_completion_tokens both accepted.

Also feature the latest blog post.
