[Suggestion / Feature] Give Web Autoclaw (autoclaw.z.ai/web) the same free access as main chat (chat.z.ai)

Verified context (from Z.AI's own community statements + user discussion):

• chat.z.ai is 100% free with no paid tier. Z.AI staff confirmed: "Full-Stack, AI-Slides, and file attachments are 100% free on chat.z.ai forever. No subscription needed." It is a best-effort free resource.
• Web Autoclaw (autoclaw.z.ai/web) is a separate product with its own paid plan ($80–$100/m) and a credit system. Users repeatedly ask "autoclaw is not free?" and "how do the limits work for AutoClaw when connected to our coding plan?" — confirming it is NOT free the way chat.z.ai is.

The gap: A user gets unlimited free access to GLM models on chat.z.ai, but moving the same task into the Web Autoclaw agent hits a paid plan / credit wall. The two Z.AI surfaces have different access models for what is fundamentally the same model backend.

Proposal: Give Web Autoclaw (autoclaw.z.ai/web) a free tier equivalent to chat.z.ai — i.e. free access to GLM models via the web agent with no separate paid plan required for basic use, matching chat.z.ai's "100% free, no subscription" model.

Why this matters:

• Removes the confusing split where "chat is free, the agent costs $80–$100/m" — users expect the free GLM access they have on chat.z.ai to carry over to the agent surface.
• Parity across Z.AI surfaces (chat, ZCode, Web Autoclaw) makes the free entry point coherent across the ecosystem.
• During GLM saturation (issue [Suggestion / Feature] Make Max / Coding Plan limits transparent and overload-safe instead of silent restrictions #142), letting free users offload suitable tasks to the web agent keeps work flowing without a paywall blocking them.
