Ling 3.1 Flash: no channel free right now

Command Code delisted the free variant inclusionai/ling-3.1-flash:free; the model page now bills $0.30/$0.90/$0.06 per 1M (input/output/cache read, Go plan and above); no end date announced - the "free while it lasts" deal was replaced by a boosted credits deal (GOAT $100 / Pro $110) → end date Oct 16
