Problem
A fresh Maka install seeds the anonymous opencode-free connection with big-pickle as its default model. That model currently does not complete within the 15-second connection-test timeout, so the built-in zero-credential provider appears offline even though the OpenCode Zen endpoint and other free models are healthy.
Existing installations retain the same stale default in llm-connections.json, so changing only the provider fallback order would not repair them.
Reproduction
- Start Maka with a fresh workspace and no provider API keys.
- Open Settings → Connections.
- Test the preconfigured OpenCode Free connection.
Expected: the zero-config connection test succeeds and a first chat can use the selected default.
Actual: the request using big-pickle times out and the connection is reported as failed.

Proposed fix
- Move the bootstrap default to a currently responsive free model and keep the provider fallback order consistent.
- Migrate only the untouched historical auto-seed (
opencode-free + old default/selection), without changing customized connections.
- Add regression coverage for fresh bootstrap and migration behavior.
- Verify the selected default against the live anonymous endpoint.
