Subject: [PATCH] Expose Ollama on all network interfaces via launchd agent

By default Ollama only binds to 127.0.0.1, making it unreachable
from other devices. Install a launchd plist that sets OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0
so the Ollama device is discoverable by the Onyx device on the network.
The agent also auto-starts Ollama at login.
