Neither RuVector nor Ollama available. Provider may not work

Error message

Neither RuVector nor Ollama available. Provider may not work.

What it means

Warning in RuVectorProvider.doInitialize(): both the RuVector HTTP server health check and the Ollama fallback probe (/api/tags) failed, so the provider has no working backend and inference calls are expected to fail.
