Description

#443 added session persistence for Gemini, but other providers were left unimplemented.

We should add similar implementation of Initialize() to load chat history for Ollama. This can happen in gollm/ollama.go and will likely follow a similar flow to Gemini, where we convert api messages to the provider-specific messages and add them to the history.

Adding tests is also very welcomed. Basic flows like saving and loading sessions, creating a new session, deleting a session, and listing sessions should be covered. Edge cases like invalid session ID and corrupted save file should also be covered.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing session persistence implementation for Gemini in gollm/gemini.go. Implement a similar Initialize() function for Ollama in gollm/ollama.go, converting API messages to provider specific format and adding to history. Write tests for basic flows (save/load/create/delete/list sessions) and edge cases (invalid session ID, corrupted save file).
