Additive superset of /v1/models that enriches each model entry with the
capabilities it supports plus its input/output modalities
(text / image / audio / video). Clients that only understand /v1/models
are unaffected -- they simply never call the new route.
Audio and video *input* are derived from the model's multimodal limits
(vLLM limit_mm_per_prompt), which no single usecase FLAG expresses. That
gap is exactly why a plain capability list is insufficient and this
enriched endpoint exists: an attachment router can now decide whether an
image/audio/video file can go to the active model directly, or must be
converted/transcribed first.
Capability derivation lives in core/config as the single source of truth
(ModelConfig.Capabilities / InputModalities / OutputModalities /
VisionSupported / ...); the Ollama capability surface now delegates to
it instead of keeping a parallel copy. Vision is gated on
chat/completion capability so a MediaMarker hydrated onto a non-chat
model (e.g. a pure ASR/TTS backend) no longer reports a false vision
capability.
Read-only listing: no new FLAG_* flag, reuses the existing `models`
swagger tag, and intentionally exposes no MCP admin tool (there is
nothing to manage conversationally).
