backend new models check - azure - 2026-09-16

Files checked: src/backend/drivers/ai-chat/providers/azure/models.ts

Note: the backend file holds 5 xAI Grok ids AND 10 OpenAI ids (gpt-4o, gpt-5, gpt-5-mini, gpt-5-nano, gpt-5.1, gpt-5.2, gpt-5.3-codex, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini, gpt-5.4-nano) — matching below was done against this real combined set. The upstream payload is a full Azure AI Foundry catalog (also lists Llama/Mistral/Cohere/DeepSeek/Phi/Kimi/jais/Nemotron/Claude, plus image/audio models like FLUX/Stable Diffusion/MAI-Image/Sora/DALL-E) — none of those families are in scope for this OpenAI+Grok-only backend and were excluded as out-of-scope rather than evaluated individually.
