Ollama /api/tags response could not be read: {e}

Error message

Ollama /api/tags response could not be read: {e}

What it means

Doctor embedding-model probe: Ollama answered the /api/tags request (the status check above passed) but resp.text() failed while reading the body, so the model list could not be parsed. The probe degrades to a warn and gives up verification — the daemon is reachable, but the configured embedding model's presence remains unknown.

Solutions

1. Re-run the doctor; interrupted body reads are usually transient connection drops
2. Check for a reverse proxy or aggressive timeout between the core and Ollama truncacing responses
3. Verify with curl that /api/tags returns a full body
