  • docs/customize/model-roles/chat.mdx — Added "Adding a Chat Model" section explaining how to trigger model fetching from the UI, with a link to the detailed reference

Closes #12396

Summary by cubic

Documented dynamic model fetching across providers and how to add chat models from the UI, including per‑provider behavior (auto-load vs refresh), fetched fields (context length, max tokens, tool support), config persistence, and model deduplication. Also added guidance for multiple local config profiles via .continue/configs/, .continue/agents/, and .continue/assistants/ with auto-discovery and hot reload.

Written for commit 2e1ca01. Summary will update on new commits.
