## Title

    [Octop] [bug] POST /api/setup/finish reports a blank provider field as INTERNAL_ERROR (400) instead of a client-error code

## Body

    ## Observed symptom
    [bug] POST /api/setup/finish reports a blank provider field as INTERNAL_ERROR (400) instead of a client-error code
    
    `POST /api/setup/finish` labels its **own input validation failures** as a server fault. `_apply_provider_draft()` (`src/octop/api/routers/setup.py:175`) raises `INTERNAL_ERROR` with a `status=400` override for three blank-field cases:
    
    - `src/octop/api/routers/setup.py:180` — `"api_key is required"` - `src/octop/api/routers/setup.py:182` — `"base_url is required"` - `src/octop/api/routers/setup.py:201` — `"at least one model is required"`
    
    ## Literal error text
    ```
    HTTP 400 {"error":{"code":"INTERNAL_ERROR","message":"Internal server error.","details":{}}}
    ```
    
    ## Environment
    GitHub TencentCloud/Octop #1292
