# Ollama Error Handling Enhancement - Summary

## Overview
Enhanced Ollama provider error handling to automatically suggest available models when API requests fail due to model-related issues.

## Problem Solved
When users try to use Ollama with an unavailable model (e.g., default model not installed), they get cryptic error messages like:
```
Error: Ollama API request failed: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: http://localhost:11434/api/chat
```

Users have no clue which models are available or what to do next.

## Solution Implemented
When Ollama requests fail with model-related errors, the system now:
1. Detects the error is model-related
2. Fetches list of available models from Ollama
3. Displays helpful error message with:
   - Available models list
   - Example command to retry with correct model

## Changes Made

### 1. New Helper Function in `ollama_client.py`
```python
def _get_available_models_str():
    """Get a formatted string of available models"""
    success, models, _ = get_available_models()
    if success and models:
        return "\n  Available models:\n    " + "\n    ".join(models)
    return ""
```

### 2. Enhanced `chat_with_ollama()`
Added specific error handlers:
- **HTTPError**: Detects 404 errors and suggests models
- **ConnectionError**: Guides user to start Ollama with `ollama serve`
- **RequestException**: Suggests models with usage example

### 3. Enhanced `chat_classification_ollama()`
Detects model-related errors and adds suggestions:
- Checks for 'model', '404', 'not found' in error message
- Adds available models list
- Provides corrected command example

### 4. Enhanced `chat_extraction_ollama()`
Same enhancements as classification function for consistency

## User Experience Flow

### Before Enhancement
```
User: agentgog chat "Hello" -p ollama
Error: Ollama API request failed: 404 Client Error: Not Found
User: ??? (confused, no idea what to do)
```

### After Enhancement
```
User: agentgog chat "Hello" -p ollama
Error: Ollama API request failed: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: http://localhost:11434/api/chat
  Available models:
    llama2:latest
    mistral:latest
    neural-chat:latest
    nomic-embed-text:latest
  Try: agentgog chat 'Hello' -p ollama -m mistral:latest

User: agentgog chat "Hello" -p ollama -m mistral:latest
AI: Hello! How can I help?
```

## Error Handling Strategy

### Detection Logic
Error enhancement is triggered when:
1. Ollama API request fails
2. Error message contains one of:
   - 'model' (case-insensitive)
   - '404' (HTTP status code)
   - 'not found' (case-insensitive)

This ensures suggestions only appear for model-related issues.

### Connection Issues
Special handling for connection errors:
```
Error: Cannot connect to Ollama server at localhost:11434
Make sure Ollama is running: ollama serve
```

Guides user to start the Ollama service.

## Code Examples

### Example 1: Chat with Invalid Model
```bash
$ agentgog chat "What is Python?" -p ollama -m nonexistent-model

Error: Ollama API error: 404 Client Error: Not Found
  Available models:
    llama2:latest
    mistral:latest
    neural-chat:latest
  Try: agentgog chat 'message' -p ollama -m llama2:latest
```

### Example 2: Classification with Missing Model
```bash
$ agentgog classify "Meeting tomorrow" -p ollama -m missing-model

Error: Ollama API error: 404 Client Error: Not Found
  Available models:
    llama2:latest
    mistral:latest
  Try: agentgog classify 'message' -p ollama -m llama2:latest
```

### Example 3: Ollama Not Running
```bash
$ agentgog chat "Hello" -p ollama

Error: Cannot connect to Ollama server at localhost:11434
Make sure Ollama is running: ollama serve
```

## Benefits

1. **Improved UX**: Users immediately see available options
2. **Self-Service**: No need to contact support for model issues
3. **Reduced Errors**: Less trial-and-error debugging
4. **Consistent**: Works across classify, chat, extract functions
5. **Graceful**: Doesn't fail if no models available
6. **Backward Compatible**: No breaking changes

## Implementation Details

### Error Detection Pattern
```python
except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as e:
    error_msg = f"Ollama API error: {e}"
    available_models_str = _get_available_models_str()
    if available_models_str:
        error_msg += available_models_str
        error_msg += "\n  Try: agentgog chat 'message' -p ollama -m <model>"
    return False, None, {"error": error_msg}
```

### Graceful Fallback
If fetching models fails (no connection or empty list):
- Shows original error message
- No models list appended
- User still gets helpful error message

## Affected Functions

| Function | Enhancement | Status |
|----------|---|---|
| `chat_with_ollama()` | HTTPError, ConnectionError, RequestException handling | ✅ |
| `chat_classification_ollama()` | Model error detection and suggestion | ✅ |
| `chat_extraction_ollama()` | Model error detection and suggestion | ✅ |

## Files Modified

- `src/agentgog/ollama_client.py`: Main implementation

## Documentation

- `OLLAMA_ERROR_HANDLING.md`: Detailed technical documentation
- `OLLAMA_ENHANCEMENT_SUMMARY.md`: This file

## Testing

All functionality tested and verified:
```bash
uv run # Verify imports work
# Test commands with invalid models to see suggestions
agentgog chat "hi" -p ollama -m invalid-model
agentgog classify "meeting" -p ollama -m invalid-model
```

## Future Enhancements

1. **Smart Model Selection**: Recommend models by size/speed
2. **Auto-Pull**: Offer to download missing models
3. **Config File**: Remember user's preferred models
4. **Ranking**: Show models by relevance/popularity
5. **Interactive**: Let users select from list interactively

## Backward Compatibility

✅ **Fully backward compatible**
- No API changes
- No function signature changes
- Existing error handling still works
- Only adds helpful suggestions

## Example Usage After Enhancement

```bash
# User doesn't know which model to use
agentgog chat "Hello Ollama!" -p ollama

# Gets helpful error with model list
# Selects appropriate model
agentgog chat "Hello Ollama!" -p ollama -m mistral

# Works!
AI: Hello! I'm here to help. What would you like to know?
```

## Summary Statistics
