OAuth settings go read-only without persistent config

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Open WebUI

Open WebUI now prevents admins from editing OAuth settings doomed to vanish on restart, and model whitelists stop accepting duplicates.

When ENABLE_OAUTH_PERSISTENT_CONFIG is off (the default), oauth.* config is never persisted and is read from environment variables, but the admin panel still let admins edit the OAuth/OIDC fields and silently dropped every save on restart, which kept confusing users who missed the docs warning. The OAuth/OIDC section is now read-only in that case: the admin oauth config endpoint reports the flag and the UI wraps the section in a disabled fieldset, slightly dimmed [1].

The model ID whitelist in the connection settings modal used to append a duplicate ID if the same model was added again, letting the same model sit in the list any number of times. The arena model modal had the same flaw, its dropdown kept offering models that were already selected. The connection modal now rejects a duplicate with a toast and trims the input first; surrounding whitespace renders invisibly in the list, so an untrimmed ID would sneak past as a distinct entry [2].

Translation coverage grew with complete Slovenian (sl-SI), Hungarian additions and UI label polish, and a new Faroese translation [3][4][5].
