Root cause
The configured local model endpoint (Ollama/LM Studio) is not reachable at the URL/port in config.json, so requests hang until timeout.
How to reproduce
Set a local model in config.json, send a chat; the spinner never resolves.

#1Applies to 0.8.x
Confirm the local server is up: `curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags` for Ollama. Match the `apiBase` in config.json exactly (host, port, trailing slash).

#2Applies to 0.8.x
Pull the model first (`ollama pull qwen2.5-coder`) — a missing model causes the request to stall rather than error clearly.
