tui, cli: a plugin's account whose model list failed says why on the Providers page and in magpie providers (gnayiab on X) — v0.1.1001 had the app's editor say why Cursor's plugin account listed Auto alone, but gnayiab runs magpie's TUI in WSL, where the Providers page still showed "1 models" and nothing else (only m, asking again, said why). Each provider's row now ends in "couldn't list its models: <why>" (red, as other faults there) when provider.ListError has one, and magpie providers says the same in amber after the row. TestProvidersSayWhyAListFellBack fails without the change. go vet, go test -tags nogui ./internal/tui . under a temp HOME, and go build (GOOS=linux nogui, GOOS=windows) pass.
