Issue: #3633542

AI Media now always uses the Drupal AI default provider and model for each operation (text_to_image, image_to_video, chat, chat_with_image_vision). It no longer keeps a provider choice of its own. Mostly deletions.

What changed

  • Removed the Providers tab from the settings form, with its validation, submit handling and the select label helper. The Usage links (AI Logging, AI Observability) move to the Advanced tab.
  • Removed providers from config/install and the schema. AiMediaGeneratorBase::defaultFor() and AiMediaMetadata::providerFor() now read only getDefaultProviderForOperationType().
  • "Not set up" now tells administrators to choose a default provider and links to the AI settings (ai.settings_form).
  • The editor model choice (editor_options.*.models) stays as it was. It already uses Drupal AI's model lists, and now preselects the AI default.
  • No update hook. A stale providers value is ignored, and saving the AI Media settings removes it. The docs say so.
  • Tests, the e2e fixtures recipe and the docs (providers, settings, AI integration, troubleshooting) set the Echo test provider as the AI default.

MR !25 (merged) (#3633456, request tags) does not depend on this change. Either can merge first.

Tested

  • Kernel: the existing tests now set ai.settings defaults. New ErrorMessagesTest::testNotSetUpLinksToTheAiSettings. 82 tests pass locally on Drupal 11.4.
  • phpcs (Drupal, DrupalPractice) and phpstan clean.
  • Dev site (Varbase 11): the settings form has no Providers tab. One image generated with the Drupal AI default (OpenAI gpt-image-1-mini), while the stale providers config still pointed at another provider.

AI-Generated: Yes. Drafted and tested with Claude Code.
