#12707: docs: Add BlockRun provider (smart LLM routing + pay-per-request)
docs
Cluster:
AI Provider Extensions
## Summary
Adds BlockRun as a provider option for OpenClaw users.
**What BlockRun offers:**
- **Smart routing**: 15-dimension weighted scoring routes each request to the cheapest capable model (<1ms, 100% local)
- **Pay-per-request**: No API keys needed — agents pay directly per request
- **30+ models**: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, Moonshot through one integration
- **78% cost savings**: Simple tasks go to cheap models, complex tasks to capable ones
**Why this matters for OpenClaw users:**
1. **Global access** — Developers without first-world credit cards can access OpenClaw. No Stripe, no API key approvals, just fund a wallet and go.
2. **Cost optimization** — Addresses Issue #6445 and similar pain points. Smart routing sends "what is 2+2?" to Gemini Flash ($0.15/M) instead of Opus ($75/M).
3. **Agent autonomy** — Agents can generate their own wallets and pay for their own API calls without human intervention.

<h2>Greptile Overview</h2>
<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>
Adds a new provider documentation page for BlockRun and links it from the model provider index so users can configure `blockrun/*` model identifiers via the ClawRouter plugin.
<h3>Confidence Score: 4/5</h3>
- This PR is safe to merge once the minor docs consistency issue is addressed.
- Changes are limited to adding a new provider doc page and a link in the providers index; no runtime code is touched. Only issue found is an inconsistent external npm URL format compared to existing provider docs.
