- #139740: \[Bug\]: Desktop model pick to a user-defined endpoint (\`providers.<slug>\`) always fails with \`model_resolution_failed\` — the session policy's frozen config carries no \`providers:\` block

All three members concern desktop model selections targeting user-defined or custom providers (\`providers.<slug>\`), including a reported \`model_resolution_failed\` error tied to a session policy's frozen config lacking a \`providers:\` block. The two fix-titled members appear to propose changes to how such picks are handled and looked up, but their outcomes are not stated here.
