[Bug]: `list` command does not work if default model not available in provider

[cschreib]

Description

list command requires default model to be available in the model provider

Steps to reproduce

1. Install ollama, do not pull any model (or only pull one model other than the default gemma3:12b)
2. Setup codefox to point to ollama
3. Run codefox list

Expected behavior

Should show an empty list

Actual behavior

Failed to connect to mode: model 'gemma3:12b' not found (status code: 404)

Environment

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04
• Python version: 3.11
• CodeFox version: 0.4.6
• Provider: ollama
• Model: N/A

Config (optional)

If relevant, paste the non-sensitive parts of .codefox.yml (e.g. provider, model name, review settings). Do not paste .codefoxenv or any API keys.

  name: llama3.1:8b

Logs / output (optional)

Additional context

Any other details that might help (repo type, size of diff, first time vs recurring, etc.).

I was able to work around this by pulling the gemma3:12b model, even though it is not the one I intended to use.
