Only configure extra headers when the official docs explicitly require them

The official Zed OpenAI-compatible and custom provider docs focus on api_url, available_models, and the API key. They do not list an extra User-Agent as a required BetterToken setup step.If you are also using a custom gateway, tenant routing, observability, or caching layer, add headers only according to that upstream service’s official docs.
6

Save the provider

Click Save Provider, then select the model you configured.
7

Restart Zed

After saving the provider, restart Zed before selecting the configured model.
Check the API URL, API key, model ID, and tool version first. Do not assume User-Agent is a required BetterToken setting.
