+# Bug 152: Ollama not running kills the entire web UI
+
+## Description
+
+The UI fetches Ollama models on load via /api/ollama/models (server/src/http/model.rs line 40). When Ollama is not running, the request fails and the error propagates in a way that kills the whole UI.
+
+The server endpoint at server/src/http/model.rs should return an empty list instead of an error when Ollama is unreachable. Or the frontend should catch the error gracefully and just show no Ollama models in the dropdown.
+
+## How to Reproduce
+
+1. Stop Ollama (or never start it)
+2. Open the web UI
+3. Observe error: Request failed: error sending request for url (http://localhost:11434/api/tags)
+
+## Actual Result
+
+The entire web UI is broken. Nothing works.
+
+## Expected Result
+
+Ollama model fetch should fail silently or show an empty model list. The rest of the UI should work normally with Claude Code or Anthropic providers.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Bug is fixed and verified
