fix(console): disable cost reporting when model pricing mixes currencies (#4564)

The console cost estimator summed per-run spend across every priced model
without checking that they shared a currency, so a deployment that priced
one model in CNY and another in USD produced a meaningless aggregate under
a single currency label. Track the first priced currency and, on a
mismatch, log a warning and drop all pricing so cost/currency fields report
null instead of an invalid sum. Currency codes are now trimmed and
case-normalized so equivalent spellings don't false-trip the guard.
