Add OrcaRouter (https://www.orcarouter.ai) as a preferred AI gateway alongside the existing OpenRouter cloud backend: - app.py / app-exe.py: read ORCAROUTER_API_KEY and, when set, route analyze_with_ai() through https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/chat/completions with model google/gemini-3.1-flash-lite; shared _call_ai_gateway helper keeps the OpenRouter path as a fallback - .env: ORCAROUTER_API_KEY entry - README.md: OrcaRouter added to the API list Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Adds OrcaRouter as a preferred AI gateway option alongside the existing OpenRouter cloud backend in
analyze_with_ai. OrcaRouter is an OpenAI-compatible model gateway exposing a large catalog of frontier and open models behind namespaced model IDs.Changes
app.py/app-exe.pyORCAROUTER_API_KEYenv var (alongsideOPENROUTER_API_KEY).analyze_with_ai()now routes through OrcaRouter (https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/chat/completions, modelgoogle/gemini-3.1-flash-lite) wheneverORCAROUTER_API_KEYis set, and falls back to the existing OpenRouter path otherwise. A shared_call_ai_gateway()helper keeps both gateways' request logic in one place; the existing offline/simulation fallbacks are preserved..env— addedORCAROUTER_API_KEY=entry.README.md— OrcaRouter added to the API list.Why
OpenRouter and OrcaRouter are both OpenAI-compatible gateways, so OrcaRouter drops into the existing cloud-analysis path with one new env var and no architectural change. It also runs gateway-level, zero-trust security for AI agents on the same endpoint — screening every prompt/response and governing every tool call on a default-deny basis, with no application code changes.
How to use
Set
ORCAROUTER_API_KEYin.env(or the environment) and the news-intelligence analysis will use OrcaRouter automatically. Without it, the app keeps using OpenRouter exactly as before.Verification
python -m py_compile app.py app-exe.py— clean.POST https://api.orcarouter.ai/v1/chat/completionswithgoogle/gemini-3.1-flash-liteand the exact HayOS request shape → HTTP 200 with a proper geopolitical assessment. (OrcaRouter free-tier models are currently rate-limited upstream, so the default is a reliable flash-lite model.)I'm an engineer on the OrcaRouter team.
