Cline 4.0.12: free Cline models in the picker
Cline adds a free tier of Cline-hosted models, labelled "(free)" in the model picker, with an error card showing the reset time once the free limit is hit. Also stops discarding already-streamed Claude Code output when the CLI exits with a max-turns error.
