Subject: [PATCH] feat: integrate claude-bridge as primary LLM provider with
 fallback chain
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add claude-bridge provider to external-providers.ts with Claude models (opus, sonnet, haiku)
- Modify getApiKey to handle claude-bridge authentication (CLAUDE_BRIDGE_ENABLED flag)
- Update getBaseUrl to construct URL from CLAUDE_BRIDGE_URL environment variable
- Remove Authorization header for claude-bridge (uses subscription-based auth)
- claude-bridge now first in fallback chain: Claude → Cerebras → Groq → Mistral → NVIDIA → Cloudflare
