Failed to list models

Error message

Failed to list models: {reason:?}

What it means

Interactive model listing converts a catalog refresh failure into a user-facing error; the debug-formatted reason distinguishes catalog-level failures (auth, network, provider errors) from ordinary interactive request failures.

Solutions

1. Inspect the CatalogRefreshError debug payload in the message to see whether the catalog fetch or its parsing failed.
2. Retry after fixing connectivity/credentials; the interactive model list falls back only when this error is converted.

When it happens
