Summary

• track initial catalog discovery and provider-source refreshes without blocking Location or TUI startup
• make session model selection wait race-safely for discovery/model availability while keeping catalog snapshots nonblocking
• distinguish incomplete catalog initialization from a genuinely unavailable model
• move models.dev, OpenCode, and OpenAI initial refreshes into scoped tracked background work

Testing

• bun test --only-failures --timeout 15000 test/catalog.test.ts test/location-layer.test.ts test/state.test.ts (35 passed)
• bun run typecheck from packages/core
• pre-push workspace typecheck (31 tasks passed)
• git diff --check

Note

A full bun run test from packages/core did not complete within a five-minute local timeout and emitted no assertion failure before termination.
