The Qwen OAuth free tier has reached its end-of-life date. This updates all client-side messaging, blocks new OAuth signups, and guides existing users to alternative providers.

📋 Review SummaryThis PR updates all client-side messaging to reflect that the Qwen OAuth free tier was discontinued on 2026-04-15. The changes are comprehensive, covering error handling, authentication validation, UI updates, i18n translations, and documentation. The implementation follows a "soft cutoff" design where existing cached tokens continue working until server rejection, while blocking new OAuth signups and providing clear user guidance. 🔍 General Feedback

…ations - Add getModelsConfig() to Config mocks in gemini.test.tsx (3 failures) - Update validateNonInterActiveAuth test to expect exit for QWEN_OAUTH since validateAuthMethod now returns an error for discontinued free tier

PR #3291 discontinued the Qwen OAuth free tier but intentionally left the ModelDialog unchanged, relying on server rejection for qwen-oauth models. This follow-up adds proper UI handling consistent with the AuthDialog: - Mark qwen-oauth model entries with "(Discontinued)" label and warning color - Replace descriptions with "Discontinued — switch to Coding Plan or API Key" - Block selection with inline error message instead of calling switchModel - Show ⚠ discontinuation notice in the detail panel for highlighted entries - Runtime OAuth models (existing cached tokens) remain selectable until server rejects them (soft cutoff principle from PR #3291) - Add i18n strings for the new error message across all 7 locale files Co-authored-by: Qwen-Coder <qwen-coder@alibabacloud.com>

TLDR
The Qwen OAuth free tier reached its end-of-life on 2026-04-15. This PR updates all client-side messaging from future tense ("ending") to past tense ("discontinued"), blocks new OAuth signups, adds a persistent startup warning for existing OAuth users, and removes DashScope web search auto-injection.
Follows up on #3217 which reduced the quota from 1,000 to 100 requests/day.
