Ollama can silently run on CPU even when the host has an NVIDIA GPU,
resulting in ~3 tok/s instead of ~167 tok/s. This happens when Ollama
was installed before the GPU toolkit, or when the container was
recreated without proper DeviceRequests. Users had zero indication.
Adds a GPU health check to the system info API response that detects
when the host has an NVIDIA runtime but nvidia-smi fails inside the
Ollama container. Shows a warning banner on the System Information
and AI Settings pages with a one-click "Reinstall AI Assistant"
button that force-reinstalls Ollama with GPU passthrough.
