## Enable Parley Models

* [ ] Still in the provider configuration section, locate a subsection for Models or Available Models.
* [ ] From the list (which Goose pulls via your key), identify and add the Parley models you intend to use. Example: `gpt-5` (text / chat).
* [ ] Once added, a notification should appear to confirm that it has been configured.
