@@ -70,6 +70,7 @@
 - Gateway: add `gateway stop|restart` helpers and surface launchd/systemd/schtasks stop hints when the gateway is already running.
 - Gateway: honor `agent.timeoutSeconds` for `chat.send` and share timeout defaults across chat/cron/auto-reply. Thanks @MSch for PR #229.
 - Auth: prioritize OAuth profiles but fall back to API keys when refresh fails; stored profiles now load without explicit auth order.
+- Auth/CLI: normalize provider ids and Z.AI aliases across auth profile ordering and models list/status. Thanks @mneves75 for PR #303.
 - Control UI: harden config Form view with schema normalization, map editing, and guardrails to prevent data loss on save.
 - Cron: normalize cron.add/update inputs, align channel enums/status fields across gateway/CLI/UI/macOS, and add protocol conformance tests. Thanks @mneves75 for PR #256.
 - Docs: add group chat participation guidance to the AGENTS template.
