chore: retire Alibaba snapshot model mappings

[steebchen]

Summary

Alibaba Cloud Model Studio is retiring a set of legacy snapshot models on 2026-07-08. This marks the affected alibaba provider mappings with deactivatedAt: new Date("2026-07-08") so they stay live until the retirement date and then auto-deactivate (the gateway treats a mapping as deactivated only once new Date() > deactivatedAt).

Affected alibaba mappings

Only mappings whose externalId exactly matches a retiring snapshot are touched:

File	Model (externalId)
alibaba.ts	qwen3-next-80b-a3b-thinking
alibaba.ts	qwen3-next-80b-a3b-instruct
alibaba.ts	qwen3-vl-235b-a22b-instruct
alibaba.ts	qwen3-vl-235b-a22b-thinking
alibaba.ts	qwen3-max-2026-01-23
deepseek.ts	deepseek-v3.2
zai.ts	glm-4.7
zai.ts	glm-4.6
moonshot.ts	Moonshot-Kimi-K2-Instruct
moonshot.ts	kimi-k2-thinking

Notes

• Models also served through other providers (nebius, novita, embercloud, bytedance) keep working via those mappings — only the alibaba mapping is deactivated.
• Aliases like qwen3-coder-plus and qwen3-vl-flash are not dated snapshots and continue resolving to current versions on Alibaba, so they are intentionally left untouched.
• Recommended replacements from the notice (qwen3.7-max, qwen3.7-plus) already exist in the catalog.

Testing

• pnpm format
• pnpm test:unit — 1919 passed, 2 skipped
• pnpm build — all 17 tasks pass
