invalid provider type: %s

Error message

invalid provider type: %s

What it means

Validation in webSearchProviderService.CreateProvider: the provider entity's Provider type string is not one of the recognized web search provider types (Bing, Google, Tavily, Baidu, Searxng, etc.). The %s echoes the rejected value; the entity is rejected before persistence so no unusable provider config reaches the registry.
