M11 vollständig abgeschlossen (AP-001 bis AP-007)

- AP-001: Kernobjekte und Port-Verträge (ModelCatalog-Port, sealed
  Result-Typen, ApiKeyOrigin, GUI-Modell- und Meldungs-Records)
- AP-002: Provider-ComboBox, exklusiver Providerbereich,
  zustandsbewahrender Providerwechsel
- AP-003: HTTP-Adapter für Modellabruf (Claude, OpenAI-kompatibel)
  mit vollständigem Error-Mapping und Dispatcher im Bootstrap
- AP-004: Automatischer Modellabruf bei Providerwechsel, Aktion
  "Modelle neu laden", Umschaltung zwischen Modell-ComboBox und
  Modell-Textfeld, Worker-Thread-Kapselung
- AP-005: Automatische Editorvalidierung (Pflichtfelder,
  Warnschwellen max.text.characters, Plausibilitätshinweise
  max.pages, API-Key-Herkunftsauflösung mit Vorrangregel)
- AP-006: Zentraler Meldungsbereich mit vier Severity-Stufen,
  feldnahe rote Fehlermeldungen, API-Key-Herkunftsanzeige
- AP-007: Integrations- und Regressionstests, Timeout-Mapping-Tests,
  Replace-Semantik für wiederholte Modellabruf-Meldungen

Hexagonale Architektur eingehalten, Application- und Domain-Schicht
bleiben infrastrukturfrei. Threadingmodell konsequent umgesetzt.
Naming-Regel und JavaDoc-Standard durchgängig beachtet.

+/**
+ * Monocle-based headless smoke tests for the central message area, field-level error labels
+ * and API-key origin display introduced in the message-area integration step.
+ *
+ * <h2>Covered scenarios</h2>
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>After opening an incomplete configuration, ERROR entries are visible in the central
+ *       message area (non-zero child count in {@code messagesAreaBox}).</li>
+ *   <li>The first child of an ERROR row is a coloured {@link Text} prefix node; the second
+ *       child (body) carries black fill.</li>
+ *   <li>After opening a configuration with a missing source folder, the field-level error label
+ *       registered for {@code source.folder} is visible.</li>
+ *   <li>After the standard template is applied via {@code requestNewConfiguration()}, the
+ *       {@code source.folder} error label is hidden.</li>
+ *   <li>The WARNING threshold for {@code max.text.characters} (1001–3000) appears in the
+ *       central message area with a WARNING-coloured prefix.</li>
+ *   <li>After synchronous model-catalogue retrieval, the central message area is updated via the
+ *       post-result callback.</li>
+ *   <li>When the API-key resolution port reports an ENV-variable origin for Claude, the
+ *       api-key origin label is visible and references the variable name.</li>
+ *   <li>The field-error label for {@code ai.provider.active} is registered and shown when the
+ *       active provider is empty.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <h2>Threading</h2>
+ * All workspace interactions run on the JavaFX Application Thread via {@link Platform#runLater}.
+ * Model-catalogue retrieval is made synchronous via the coordinator's injectable factories so no
+ * real background threads are used and results are delivered inline.
