- #75479: \[Bug\]: Pricing/accounting code path omits api_key in /models probe — generates 401 errors on auth-gated providers (LiteLLM)

A bug was identified where pricing and accounting code paths omit the api_key when probing the /models endpoint, causing 401 authentication errors on providers that require auth (such as LiteLLM). The fix forwards the api_key to these metadata probe requests.
