BYOK: bring your own API key, no markup on the AI

The design decision I'm most happy with in Fud AI: BYOK, bring your own key.

Plug in your own Google Gemini or OpenRouter API key and the AI features cost you nothing beyond your own provider usage. You pick the provider and the model. If you'd rather not deal with keys, there's an optional paid "Fud AI Plus" with no setup.

As a dev I hate apps that lock a thin AI wrapper behind a fat subscription. So this one doesn't.
