provider %q is not configured in custom_providers

Error message

provider %q is not configured in custom_providers

What it means

When cfg.Provider names a provider that is not an official preset, runConfigModel treats it as custom and looks it up in cfg.CustomProviders. If the map has no entry under that name, the config is inconsistent (provider set but its custom entry missing), so the command fails naming the offending provider.

Solutions

1. Add a matching [custom_providers.<name>] entry (URL, model, key) for cfg.Provider, or
2. Re-run 'ocr config provider' to re-select and re-create the custom provider entry consistently
3. Fix the provider name typo so it matches an existing custom_providers key

Example fix

// before (config.toml)
provider = "my-gateway"
[custom_providers]
  [custom_providers.gateway] # name mismatch
  url = "https://gw.example.com"
// after
provider = "my-gateway"
[custom_providers]
  [custom_providers.my-gateway]
  url = "https://gw.example.com"
  models = ["model-a"]

cfg, _ := loadOrCreateConfig(configPath)
if _, isPreset := llm.LookupProvider(cfg.Provider); !isPreset {
    if _, ok := cfg.CustomProviders[cfg.Provider]; !ok {
        // add custom_providers entry or rerun provider config
    }
}

if err := runConfigModel(path); err != nil && strings.Contains(err.Error(), "is not configured in custom_providers") {
    // rerun 'ocr config provider' to rebuild the entry
}

When it happens

Trigger: cfg.Provider is a non-preset name and cfg.CustomProviders[cfg.Provider] is absent — e.g. the custom_providers table was renamed/removed or the provider string was edited by hand.

Common situations: Manually editing config.toml and changing provider without adding a matching custom_providers entry; renaming a custom provider key while leaving the top-level provider pointing at the old name; an upgrade migrating config shape and dropping entries; typo in the provider name.
