Three free models, one cheap one: same prompts, twenty-four builds

The newest free models on OpenRouter I could use without bending any rule (Dots3-Note Preview, Laguna S 2.1, Nemotron 3.5 Lightning) and Claude Haiku 5.5 as a paid reference got the same six short prompts, one request each. Where a file did not load, the model got one repair attempt with its own error message; those cards say so. Everything runs in your browser.
