# Bug 1: Anthropic Models Fetched Without API Key

## Symptom

Browser console shows `Error: Anthropic API key not found. Please set your API key.` on every page load, even when the user has no Anthropic API key and is using `claude-code-pty`.

## Root Cause

`Chat.tsx` unconditionally calls `api.getAnthropicModels()` on mount. The server endpoint requires an API key to call the Anthropic models list API. When no key is set, the request fails with an error logged to the console.

## Reproduction Steps

1. Start the server without setting an Anthropic API key
2. Open the web UI
3. Open browser developer console
4. Observe the error on page load

## Proposed Fix

Only call `getAnthropicModels()` after `getAnthropicApiKeyExists()` confirms a key is set. Chain the calls so the models fetch is conditional.
