Component: Control UI (web) — model selector dropdown

Error Message

Observe the error — the provider prefix is always anthropic/

Root Cause

Component: Control UI (web) — model selector dropdown

Code Example

"agents.defaults.model": {
  "primary": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
  "fallbacks": ["openai-codex/gpt-5.4", "ollama/qwen2.5:14b-instruct"]
},
"agents.defaults.models": {
  "openai-codex/gpt-5.4": { "alias": "OpenAI Web" },
  "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6": { "alias": "Claude Opus" },
  "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6": { "alias": "Claude Sonnet" },
  "ollama/qwen2.5:14b-instruct": { "alias": "Qwen Local" }
}

### Steps to reproduce

1. Configure models from multiple providers (anthropic, ollama, openai-codex) with aliases
2. Open Control UI
3. Use the model selector dropdown to switch to a non-Anthropic model
4. Observe the error — the provider prefix is always anthropic/

### Expected behavior

1. Selecting "Qwen Local" should send `ollama/qwen2.5:14b-instruct`
2. Selecting "OpenAI Web" should send `openai-codex/gpt-5.4`

### Actual behavior

1. Selecting "Qwen Local" sends `anthropic/qwen2.5:14b-instruct` → fails
2. Selecting "OpenAI Web" sends `anthropic/gpt-5.4` → fails

Summary

Component: Control UI (web) — model selector dropdown

Description

The model selector in the Control UI sends the wrong provider prefix when switching models. All models are sent with the anthropic/ prefix regardless of their actual provider.

It appears the dropdown uses the model ID (e.g. qwen2.5:14b-instruct) but always prepends the current/primary provider (anthropic/) instead of the provider defined in the config for that model.

Config (relevant part)

"agents.defaults.model": {
  "primary": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
  "fallbacks": ["openai-codex/gpt-5.4", "ollama/qwen2.5:14b-instruct"]
},
"agents.defaults.models": {
  "openai-codex/gpt-5.4": { "alias": "OpenAI Web" },
  "anthropic/claude-opus-4-6": { "alias": "Claude Opus" },
  "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6": { "alias": "Claude Sonnet" },
  "ollama/qwen2.5:14b-instruct": { "alias": "Qwen Local" }
}

### Steps to reproduce

1. Configure models from multiple providers (anthropic, ollama, openai-codex) with aliases
2. Open Control UI
3. Use the model selector dropdown to switch to a non-Anthropic model
4. Observe the error — the provider prefix is always anthropic/

### Expected behavior

1. Selecting "Qwen Local" should send `ollama/qwen2.5:14b-instruct`
2. Selecting "OpenAI Web" should send `openai-codex/gpt-5.4`

### Actual behavior

Fix Plan

To fix the issue, we need to modify the model selector dropdown to use the correct provider prefix for each model.

Update the modelSelector.js file to parse the model ID and extract the provider prefix from the agents.defaults.models config.
Use the extracted provider prefix when sending the model ID.

Example code:

// modelSelector.js
const getModelProvider = (modelId) => {
  const models = config.agents.defaults.models;
  for (const model in models) {
    if (models[model].alias === modelId) {
      return model.split('/')[0];
    }
  }
  return 'anthropic'; // default provider
};

const handleModelSelect = (modelId) => {
  const provider = getModelProvider(modelId);
  const fullModelId = `${provider}/${modelId.split('/').pop()}`;
  // send the fullModelId to the server
};

Update the config.js file to ensure that the agents.defaults.models config is correctly formatted and accessible.

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, follow these steps:

Open the Control UI and select a non-Anthropic model from the dropdown.
Check the network requests to ensure that the correct provider prefix is being sent.
Test multiple models from different providers to ensure that the fix is working correctly.

Extra Tips

Make sure to update the config.js file to ensure that the agents.defaults.models config is correctly formatted and accessible.
Consider adding error handling to the getModelProvider function to handle cases where the model ID is not found in the config.
