schema_test: verify migrate_ai_gateway_settings() populates
  gateway_embed_key from OPENROUTER_API_KEY env var.

service_test: verify effective_config() falls back to
  gateway_vision_key when gateway_embed_key is empty.

 - Defaults live in `config.py`: `INTERNAL_GATEWAY_URL` (`http://localhost:10500/openai/v1/chat/completions`, override with `DEVPLACE_INTERNAL_BASE_URL`) and `INTERNAL_MODEL` (`molodetz`). `news_ai_url`, `bot_api_url`, `devii_ai_url` default to `INTERNAL_GATEWAY_URL`; their model defaults to `molodetz`.
 - Each consumer's key falls back to `database.internal_gateway_key()` (reads the `gateway_internal_key` setting) when its own key field/env is unset - the provider-key fallbacks (`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`/`OPENROUTER_API_KEY`) were removed from news and bots.
 - `gateway_force_model` (default on) and a `molodetz`/empty alias in `handle_chat` make the upstream always receive `gateway_model`, so `molodetz` is a stable generic alias.

 - The gateway's `gateway_api_key`/`gateway_vision_key`/`gateway_internal_key` fields are **non-secret** so the admin services page shows the value actually in use, editable.
 - Bot LLM calls are synchronous `urllib` but already run via `asyncio.to_thread` (`bot/bot.py`), so the local round-trip never blocks the event loop.
 - Real provider keys/URLs/models live ONLY in the gateway. The gateway is `default_enabled=True`.
