- Treat checking, deferred and loading provider model catalog states as pending instead of unavailable.
- Show selected provider activity inside create and launch dialogs while keeping ready providers visible during checks.
- Remove the global provider status header so provider activity is scoped to launch flows.
Keep connected provider details visible while refreshes are in flight, restore reusable provider status UI, and separate fast startup summaries from heavier provider hydration. Replace the fixed 30s startup wait with an idle-aware scheduler with a 30s safety cap and cover the Electron timer binding crash.
