Context

Introduce a self-service “Provider Defined” integration so users can onboard any OpenAI-compatible provider without waiting on core updates. The work adds full backend support (manifest + models fetching, embedded JSON ingestion), frontend configuration with manifest/embedded toggles, end-to-end tests, and accompanying documentation.

Implements Proposal: #2329

Implementation

• Added provider-defined handler, fetcher, schema updates, and request plumbing (including embedded JSON parsing).
• Built a Provider Defined settings panel with manifest/embedded source toggle, fetch/parse flows, error surfacing, and model dropdown.
• Extended UI and backend tests to cover new behaviours and ensured type safety by updating shared schemas and selectors.
• Documented the workflow and updated docs navigation to expose the new provider option.

How to Test

1. Open Kilo Code settings → Provider Defined.
2. Manifest URL flow:
3. Select “Manifest URL”, enter http://localhost:3000/v1/models?provider=true, click Fetch.
4. Confirm the provider name (e.g. “Test Provider”) appears and the model dropdown lists provider/model-name-v1.
5. Run a chat using that model; you should receive the stubbed test response (see sample test server output).
6. Embedded JSON flow:
7. Select “Embedded JSON”, paste the two-entry JSON array provided in docs, click Parse.
8. Confirm models populate without hitting the endpoint and initiate a chat to verify responses.
9. Optional: Switch back and forth between sources to ensure state resets gracefully (errors cleared, models reloaded).
