Subject: [PATCH] fix: always show tool protocol selector for OpenAI Compatible
 and Ollama providers

- Tool protocol selector now appears for OpenAI Compatible and Ollama providers regardless of model configuration
- Fixes issue where existing configurations wouldn't show the tool call protocol option
- Users can now control tool format for local models without recreating configurations

Fixes #9748
