Fix LM studio (local) model discovery. - #918
Conversation

Pull request overview
This pull request improves compatibility with strict OpenAI-compatible local servers (notably LM Studio) by (1) making tool JSON schemas more acceptable to those servers and (2) changing provider model merging so locally discovered models are treated as the authoritative list of available model IDs (addressing issue #917).
Changes:
- Normalize tool JSON-schema parameters so
parameters.propertiesis always present (empty object when there are no properties), improving compatibility with stricter OpenAI-compatible servers. - Update model discovery merge logic so local providers keep live-only (discovered) model IDs even when a catalog is present.
- Add regression tests covering the above behaviors.

The `properties == nil` interface comparison misses typed-nil
`map[string]any` values, which JSON-serialize as `null` instead of
`{}`. Strict OpenAI-compatible servers (LM Studio) reject the request.
Type-assert first, then compare the underlying map, so a typed-nil
properties field is rewritten to an empty object. Adds a regression
test that exercises the typed-nil path.

- Around line 153-174: Extend the relevant OpenAI provider request test to
include a tool parameter case where properties is a non-map value such as an
empty slice. Exercise the normalizeToolParameters path and assert the serialized
request contains properties as an empty object rather than an array or null,
while preserving the existing typed-nil assertions.

CodeRabbit follow-up on the typed-nil fix: lock in the behavior when `properties` is a non-map value (e.g., empty slice) so the type-assert branch normalizes it to an empty object on the wire.
Summary
The change fixes issues with discovering models from local LM studio and other local providers, by flipping behaviour of discovered and pre-defined models.
