Notes

• Ollama models shown in the frontend are fetched from backend endpoint /api/models, which queries OLLAMA_BASE_URL/api/tags.
• Pull models before use, for example:

ollama pull llama3.1:8b

• If ImageMagick is not discovered automatically, set IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY explicitly.
• New architecture uses a database-backed job queue. In Docker, use Postgres via DATABASE_URL.
