18 of 60 paid installs on the current telemetry schema have no AI
provider. Getting Patrol running meant three pages: turn on Pulse
Intelligence, pick one of 14 providers and paste a key, choose a model
from a raw list, then find Check Patrol model on another page.
When Patrol is blocked because no provider is connected, Pulse
Intelligence is off, or the provider refused the saved key, the setup
card now connects a provider in place. It covers a cloud API key
(Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter) or Ollama, names the
model Pulse will use from the Patrol guidance table, prices it before
anything is saved, then saves it, runs the provider test and the Patrol
model check, and offers the first run. A per-token model on the
untouched 6-hour schedule gets the same slower schedule Patrol settings
would propose. Everything else stays on Provider & Models.
The panel stays mounted once started, because polling flips the
readiness cause mid-setup and would otherwise remove the verdict. A
refused key (provider_auth) now routes to Provider & Models instead of
the model check, which could not fix it.
