Solutions

1. Re-select the model in settings; the provider is neither in the registry nor in the custom providers list.
2. Recreate the custom provider if it was removed, then pick the model again.
3. Check for typos or stale provider ids in restored/migrated settings.

Example fix

// getModel fell through registry and custom-provider paths
// Fix: assign a valid provider id to settings.provider
