Research direction

Find the Preferences UI and provider configuration entry points, then read how the app currently stores OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Probe http://localhost:11434 and prefill the endpoint only when a local server responds; keep provider selection under the user's control. Done when a detected local server is offered in Preferences and no data is sent before the user chooses the provider.
