Zhipu's ZCode open-source build differs from distributed version, devs find

- Developer @buildwithhassan found that the open-source build of Zhipu's ZCode differs from the officially distributed version.
- A comment in the code even states: "The open source version does not qualify for quota promotions."
- The discovery raises questions about what the differences hide in a project open-sourced supposedly for transparency.
- teortaxesTex downplays it as a routine Chinese-lab PR stumble that a good release will erase — and notes the upside of heat shifting off DeepSeek: "the public needs a villain."
