fix: provider/model resolution — salvage 4 PRs + MiniMax aux URL fix (#5983)

Salvaged fixes from community PRs:

- fix(model_switch): _read_auth_store → _load_auth_store + fix auth store
  key lookup (was checking top-level dict instead of store['providers']).
  OAuth providers now correctly detected in /model picker.
  Cherry-picked from PR #5911 by Xule Lin (linxule).

- fix(ollama): pass num_ctx to override 2048 default context window.
  Ollama defaults to 2048 context regardless of model capabilities. Now
  auto-detects from /api/show metadata and injects num_ctx into every
  request. Config override via model.ollama_num_ctx. Fixes #2708.
  Cherry-picked from PR #5929 by kshitij (kshitijk4poor).

- fix(aux): normalize provider aliases for vision/auxiliary routing.
  Adds _normalize_aux_provider() with 17 aliases (google→gemini,
  claude→anthropic, glm→zai, etc). Fixes vision routing failure when
  provider is set to 'google' instead of 'gemini'.
  Cherry-picked from PR #5793 by e11i (Elizabeth1979).

- fix(aux): rewrite MiniMax /anthropic base URLs to /v1 for OpenAI SDK.
  MiniMax's inference_base_url ends in /anthropic (Anthropic Messages API),
  but auxiliary client uses OpenAI SDK which appends /chat/completions →
  404 at /anthropic/chat/completions. Generic _to_openai_base_url() helper
  rewrites terminal /anthropic to /v1 for OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
  Inspired by PR #5786 by Lempkey.

Added debug logging to silent exception blocks across all fixes.
