delegate agent "{name}" has empty model

Error message

delegate agent "{name}" has empty model

What it means

Doctor delegate-agent check: iterating config.agents alphabetically, the named [[agents]] entry has an empty `model` field. Delegate agents are spawned with their own model; an empty model leaves the agent without an inference target, so any turn dispatched to it fails at provider resolution or unexpectedly inherits a default.

Solutions

1. Set `model` to a concrete model id on the named [[agents.<name>]] entry
2. Confirm the model is served by the configured backend before saving
3. Remove the agent entry if it is a leftover from testing
