Missing LLM configuration

Error message

Missing LLM configuration (Model: ${modelId}, Provider: ${providerId})

What it means

runArtistTask resolves the model and provider ids for the artistry LLM call and throws if either is missing before instantiating the chat provider. The error embeds the current values (possibly undefined) to make the configuration gap diagnosable. It guards against invoking a provider client without a complete model/provider configuration.

Solutions

1. Configure the artistry model and provider in settings (select both a model id and provider id) before running artist tasks.
2. Check providersStore for the referenced provider and re-add it if it was deleted.
3. Add a pre-run guard in the UI that disables the run button until modelId && providerId are set.
4. Fix stale settings state referencing a removed provider id.

Example fix

// before
await runArtistTask(input) // throws when no model/provider configured
// after
if (!getArtistryModelId() || !getArtistryProviderId())
  await openSettings('providers')
await runArtistTask(input)

const modelId = getArtistryModelId()
const providerId = getArtistryProviderId()
if (!modelId || !providerId) {
  openSettings('providers')
  return
}

try {
  await runArtistTask(task)
} catch (e) {
  if (e.message.startsWith('Missing LLM configuration')) ui.showSetupWizard()
  else throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: runArtistTask with no configured artistry model: modelId or providerId resolves to ''/undefined — e.g. no default model selected for the artistry module, or the chosen provider was deleted from the providers store.

Common situations: Fresh install where the user never configured an image/LLM provider; a provider entry removed or renamed while the artistry module still points at it; settings sync bringing incomplete provider config into a new window.
