""" llm_client.py — Ollama local LLM client for Research Draft. Communicates with an Ollama instance running on localhost to generate academic abstracts. Uses the /api/chat endpoint with a structured system prompt so the model receives clear role-based instructions separate from the paper text. All network and API errors are caught and re-raised as RuntimeError with user-friendly messages.
