OAuth token is missing while updating Copilot Chat models

Error message

OAuth token is missing while updating Copilot Chat models

What it means

update_models reads the Copilot Chat entity state to obtain its OAuth token; the token was None, so the models list cannot be refreshed. It means Copilot Chat isn't authenticated (or credentials were cleared) at the time of the refresh.

Solutions

1. Sign in to Copilot Chat so an OAuth token is stored
2. Retry the model refresh after authentication completes
