Research direction

Read gknowledge/ui/preferences.py, using the ChatGPT model dropdown as the example, and inspect how Preferences discovers and displays models. Probe http://localhost:11434/v1/models and offer the returned models without sending a document. Start with make start to try the Preferences flow, then run make test; done when models from a local Ollama server can be selected there.
