Bug type

Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)

Summary

When using the model picker dropdown in the Control UI to switch to an Ollama model (e.g. ollama/gpt-oss:120b-cloud), the UI submits the model incorrectly, producing: model not allowed: anthropic/gpt-oss:120b-cloud.

The dropdown shows the full model ID with provider prefix correctly, but on submission the UI strips ollama/ and prepends anthropic/ as the default provider.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Control UI → model picker
2. Select any Ollama model (e.g. ollama/gpt-oss:120b-cloud)
3. Confirm → error: Failed to set model: model not allowed: anthropic/gpt-oss:120b-cloud

Expected behavior

Model is switch successfully to ollama/gpt-oss:120b-cloud

Actual behavior

error: Failed to set model: model not allowed: anthropic/gpt-oss:120b-cloud
