Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)

No

Summary

When using the /models command or the model dropdown in the Web chat, the UI displays the entire model catalog (900+ entries) rather than filtering to only the providers and models the user has configured authentication for.

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure authentication for one or two providers (e.g., ollama, google)
2. Open the Web chat and click the model dropdown, or run /models in chat
3. Observe 900+ model entries from all providers, including ones with no auth configured

Expected behavior

Only models from providers with valid authentication configured should appear in the picker by default.

Actual behavior

All models from the full catalog are shown. Unauthenticated providers are included but annotated with an "auth missing" hint rather than being hidden.

Logs, screenshots, and evidence

In `src/flows/model-picker.ts`, `addModelSelectOption` adds unauthenticated provider models to the list instead of skipping them:
Root Cause (code pointer):

// src/flows/model-picker.ts ~line 224
if (!params.hasAuth(params.entry.provider)) {
  hints.push("auth missing");  // <-- should return early here instead
}
params.options.push({ ... });  // model is still added

Impact and severity

Annoying Workarounds:

• Use /models <provider> to filter to a specific provider
• Configure agents.defaults.models as an allowlist in your config:

  { agent: { models: { "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6": { alias: "Sonnet" } } } }

Additional information

Suggested Fix:
Add an early return when !params.hasAuth(params.entry.provider) (or make it opt-in via a flag like --all) so that unauthenticated providers are hidden by default in the interactive picker.
