DS4 /v1/models at did not list configured alias ' '…

Error message

DS4 /v1/models at {} did not list configured alias '{configured_alias}' (advertised: {})

What it means

After successfully fetching `/v1/models`, `probe_ds4_models` verifies that the configured model alias appears in the endpoint's advertised model list. If none of the returned model ids equals `configured_alias`, the probe bails listing up to 8 advertised ids (or "none" if the list is empty). The endpoint is healthy but does not serve the configured model.

Solutions

1. Compare the advertised model ids in the error message and correct the configured alias to one of them (exact match, including case).
2. Confirm with `curl <endpoint>/v1/models` which models the endpoint actually serves.
3. If the list is empty ("none"), check the DS4 server's model loading/registration — it may have no models loaded.
4. Update the DS4 deployment or point the config at an endpoint that serves the intended alias.

Example fix

// config before
model_alias = "deepseek-chat-v3"
// after (matching an advertised id)
model_alias = "deepseek-chat"

// ensure the configured alias is served before dispatch
let models = list_ds4_models().await?;
assert!(models.iter().any(|m| m.id == configured_alias), "alias {} not served; available: {:?}", configured_alias, models.iter().map(|m| &m.id).collect::<Vec<_>>());

When it happens

Trigger: Doctor DS4 probe where the models list succeeds but `configured_alias` is absent — a typo in the configured alias, a renamed model, or an endpoint serving a different model catalog.

Common situations: Config written for a different DS4 deployment; upstream renamed or removed the model; alias case mismatch; endpoint returns an empty models list; pointing at a proxy that filters models.
