- **Backend Changes:**
- Refactor pricing API to return separate vendors array with ID-based model references
- Remove redundant vendor_name/vendor_icon fields from pricing records, use vendor_id only
- Add vendor_description to pricing response for frontend display
- Maintain 1-minute cache protection for pricing endpoint security
- **Frontend Data Flow:**
- Update useModelPricingData hook to build vendorsMap from API response
- Enhance model records with vendor info during data processing
- Pass vendorsMap through component hierarchy for consistent vendor data access
- **UI Component Replacements:**
- Replace PricingCategories with PricingVendors component for vendor-based filtering
- Replace PricingCategoryIntro with PricingVendorIntro in header section
- Remove all model category related components and logic
- **Header Improvements:**
- Implement vendor intro with real backend data (name, icon, description)
- Add text collapsible feature (2-line limit with expand/collapse functionality)
- Support carousel animation for "All Vendors" view with vendor icon rotation
- **Model Detail Modal Enhancements:**
- Update ModelHeader to use real vendor icons via getLobeHubIcon()
- Move tags from header to ModelBasicInfo content area to avoid SideSheet title width constraints
- Display only custom tags from backend with stringToColor() for consistent styling
- Use Space component with wrap property for proper tag layout
- **Table View Optimizations:**
- Integrate RenderUtils for description and tags columns
- Implement renderLimitedItems for tags (max 3 visible, +x popover for overflow)
- Use renderDescription for text truncation with tooltip support
- **Filter Logic Updates:**
- Vendor filter shows disabled options instead of hiding when no models match
- Include "Unknown Vendor" category for models without vendor information
- Remove all hardcoded vendor descriptions, use real backend data
- **Code Quality:**
- Fix import paths after component relocation
- Remove unused model category utilities and hardcoded mappings
- Ensure consistent vendor data usage across all pricing views
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing pricing calculation logic
This refactor provides a more scalable vendor-based architecture while eliminating
data redundancy and improving user experience with real-time backend data integration.
