## Title

    [opencode] 'ProviderModelNotFoundError' / 'Model not found: <provider>/<model>. Did you mean: ...?' — model referenced without providerId prefix

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Docs: models must be referenced as <providerId>/<modelId> (e.g. openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-flash); source adds 'Did you mean' suggestions.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Model not found:
