## Title

    [AutoRAG] [BUG] A failed model request (e.g. HTTP 429) is reported as "the agent did not record why it stopped"

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    [BUG] A failed model request (e.g. HTTP 429) is reported as "the agent did not record why it stopped"
    
    When the model request fails (HTTP 429 rate limit, auth, unknown model), `autorag search` returns the "ended without finalized results" answer that says "The agent did not record why it stopped" and suggests broadening `searchPaths`; the provider error text is not in the answer, stderr, or the JSON output.
    
    Point the model at an endpoint that always returns 429 (a 10-line Node server on [local] answering `{"error":{"message":"Rate limit reached for gpt-6-luna on tokens per min (TPM) ... (fake server)","code":"rate_limit_exceeded"}}`):
