- PR #126898: fix(cli): treat a successful token-plan live catalog as terminal for the model picker

A deprecated Alibaba model ID remains selectable via the token-plan picker because static fallback data re-introduces it after the live catalog omits it, causing 404 errors on selection. These items address removing the stale entry and adjusting catalog resolution logic.
