BYOK subtext is confusing and needs hint text with examples #792

Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Settings and go to the model/provider configuration.
  2. Read the BYOK subtext.

Expected Behavior

The subtext explains what to enter, with a concrete example of a valid endpoint or model identifier.

Actual Behavior

The subtext is confusing and there are no examples, so it isn't clear what a valid value looks like.

Proposed fix

Add hint text with examples throughout this section. Worth comparing the GitHub app's model-provider experience against our local model experience and closing the gap.

Related: #192 (BYOK / OpenAI-compatible endpoints), #248 (Copilot CLI BYOK / local models), #498 (delegate agent BYOK behavior). Those are feature work; this issue is about the copy on what already ships.
