llm-openrouter plugin v0.7 adds new tools and OpenRouter LLM compatibility

The llm-openrouter plugin has been updated to version 0.7, enhancing its compatibility with reasoning LLMs available through OpenRouter, particularly with LLM version 0.32. This update integrates the Responses API and introduces three new server-side tools: Shell, WebFetch, and WebSearch, which can be enabled via specific options. The release also references recent articles on conceptual integrity, the Qwen 3.8-27B model's tendency to overthink, and an alleged OpenAI incident involving Hugging Face. AI

IMPACT Enhances developer tooling for interacting with various LLMs via OpenRouter, potentially improving workflows for AI model integration.
