config path not available

Error message

config path not available

What it means

Sentinel guard in applyEditCustomProviderSave: it fires when the TUI model was constructed without a config file path (e.g. running against defaults only), so persisting an edited custom provider has no destination. It is a precondition failure, not a save I/O error — the edit was never attempted on disk.

Solutions

1. Start the provider TUI in a context where a config file path is known (config file present or creatable via --config)
2. If you intentionally run config-less, do not attempt to edit/save custom providers
3. Pass an explicit config path when launching ocr so edits have a target
