Document dynamic model fetching feature #12464

Description

Summary

PR #12046 added support for dynamically fetching provider models. This allows users to see available models from their providers by clicking a refresh button after entering their API key.

What needs to be documented

  1. Feature overview: After entering an API key in the Add Model form, users can click a refresh icon to "update models list using my API key"
  2. Supported providers: Ollama auto-loads models, OpenRouter uses its public API, Anthropic calls /v1/models, Gemini uses v1beta/models, and other providers use their listModels() methods
  3. Model metadata: The feature automatically detects and persists contextLength, maxTokens, and capabilities (tool_use, image_input) to config.yaml
  4. Location: This should likely be added to docs/customize/models.mdx or a new section in the Add Model documentation
