🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Keep a provider group when it has only gated models.

If a provider has updateRequiredModels but no selectable models, this data never reaches a ModelOption. groupByProvider therefore creates no group, and the mobile picker cannot show the update notice. Carry provider-level notice data into groups independently of selectable model options.

Review comment at @apps/mobile/src/lib/modelOptions.ts around lines 185 - 187:
Update groupByProvider so provider-level updateRequiredModels data is retained
even when the provider has no selectable models. Carry the notice data into the
provider group independently of ModelOption creation so the mobile picker can
display it.

Not changing this here. Gated models are always current models, so a provider with gated models still has its legacy and other current models in models, and its group (and notice) exists. The only gap is a provider with zero runnable models of any kind. That would need provider-level groups that exist without options, which is the refactor you flagged as a heavy lift and is out of scope for this PR. The outside-diff finding (a remembered selection that becomes gated stayed selectable on mobile) is fixed in dccb5ed: that row is now marked unavailable.

@juliusmarminge Thanks for the clarification. When a provider retains legacy or other current models, its group already carries the update notice. I overstated the impact of this finding.

The remaining gap applies only to providers with zero runnable models. I accept that option-independent provider groups are outside this PR’s scope.

The supplied code also confirms that a remembered selection listed in updateRequiredModels now receives isUnavailable: true.

Would you like a follow-up issue for the zero-runnable-model case?

Learning: In pingdotgg/t3code, CLI update gating applies to current models, not legacy models. In apps/mobile/src/lib/modelOptions.ts, buildModelOptions attaches provider update metadata to model options, and groupByProvider retains that metadata when any option exists. Do not infer that gated current models remove the provider group: legacy and other current models can keep the group present. The missing-group case requires zero model options.
