- Notes the preset is a fixed http://localhost:11434 endpoint that does not probe for a running server - Describes the down-server behaviour: the wizard's model list fails with "could not list models from Ollama (local)" and falls back to typing an id by hand; the LLM panel shows "model list unavailable" - Tells the reader to start `ollama serve` and pull a model, then re-open the preset

Follow-up to the closed #128. That PR added a "New in v0.2.1 / auto-detects" note that was rightly rejected:
http://localhost:11434endpoint, not a detector (seesrc/tui/providers/provider-presets.ts)This change drops that note and instead documents the gap @sosidudku1 pointed out: what happens when the Ollama server isn't running.
Verified against the code:
src/tui/components/providers-wizard.tsx): when the fetch tohttp://localhost:11434/v1/modelsfails, the hint readscould not list models from Ollama (local)and falls back to typing a model id by hand.src/tui/components/llm-mode-rows.tsx): the model list showsmodel list unavailableand only the current model.src/tui/providers/provider-presets.ts): fixedhttp://localhost:11434, no probe — so the "auto-detects" wording was never accurate.The new sentence tells the reader to start
ollama serve(and pull the model) and re-open the preset.
