custom provider %q not found

What it means

Solutions

1. Verify the name refers to a custom provider you previously added with 'ocr config set provider <name> ...'.
2. List existing custom providers in the config file before unsetting.
3. If the goal is to disable provider-based config entirely, run 'ocr config unset provider' without a name instead.

Example fix

// before: no custom providers configured
$ ocr config unset provider openai
error: custom provider "openai" not found

// after: unset active provider instead
$ ocr config unset provider

cfg, _ := LoadAppConfig(configPath)
if cfg == nil || cfg.CustomProviders == nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("no custom providers configured; nothing to unset")
}

func hasCustomProviders(cfg *Config) bool {
    return cfg != nil && cfg.CustomProviders != nil
}

if err := unsetCustomProvider(configPath, name); err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "not found") {
    return nil // already absent
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running 'ocr config unset provider <name>' on a config that has never defined any custom provider (no customProviders key in the JSON).

Common situations: Attempting to unset a built-in provider name (only custom providers are deletable) on a config without custom providers; fresh install; script assuming providers exist.
