server.rs

//! Local Ollama server lifecycle — detect a dead loopback server and start it.
//!
//! The product rule: the user should never have to leave mermaid to run
//! `ollama serve`. When a request to a *local* Ollama URL is refused, we
//! locate the binary, start `ollama serve` detached (it outlives mermaid and
//! ignores the TUI's Ctrl+C), wait for the URL to become healthy, and let the
//! caller retry. Remote URLs are never touched — you can't start a server on
//! someone else's machine.
//!
//! Only *intent* paths auto-start (chat, model listing the user asked for,
//! startup preflight). Diagnostics (`mermaid status` / `doctor`) observe
//! without healing — see the `autostart` flag their `BackendConfig`s set.
//! Runtime kill-switch: `MERMAID_OLLAMA_AUTOSTART=0` disables autostart
//! process-wide (containers/CI where spawning a GPU server is unwanted);
//! unit-test builds are hard-disabled so no test can ever spawn a real
//! server through a default-config adapter.
//!
//! Concurrency: attempts are serialized process-wide behind a tokio `Mutex`,
//! and a failed attempt is remembered for a short cooldown so concurrent
//! callers (chat + model list on a cold boot) can't spawn-storm. A marker is
//! armed at spawn time too, so a caller cancelled mid-wait (Esc during a
//! turn) can't let the next caller double-spawn against a still-booting
//! child. Holding the lock across awaits is deliberate; a cancelled caller
//! drops its future, releases the lock, and leaves the spawned server
//! running — the server is a system resource, not turn-scoped work.
