Provider was not registered

Error message

Provider was not registered

What it means

Raised in save_llm_provider_form when the settings update task completes but the provider was never registered in the registry (the awaited update silently failed to add it). This sentinel distinguishes a canceled/failed registration from a successful save so the UI can report it.
