 6. Streaming via pull-based `StreamReader.Next()`
 7. Middleware for logging, retry, timeout, usage tracking
 8. Ollama uses the native `/api/chat` API rather than the OpenAI-compat `/v1` endpoint. Native API supports `think: false` for thinking-capable models, has more reliable tool calling, and is approximately 15-20% lower latency. Both local and cloud share the same provider; only the apiKey/baseURL differ. `llm.Ollama()` targets `http://localhost:11434` with no Authorization header; `llm.OllamaCloud(key)` targets `https://ollama.com` with `Authorization: Bearer <key>`.

+### DD#9 — foreman integration via thin Foreman() constructor (2026-05-23)
+**Context:** foreman is a private queued Ollama endpoint. It speaks native Ollama
+on the wire, so no new provider is needed.
+**Decision:** `llm.Foreman(baseURL, apiKey)` delegates to `ollamaProvider.New()`.
+baseURL is positional and required (no sensible default for a private daemon).
+apiKey can be empty for network-trusted deployments.
+**Consequence:** Zero new code paths. Streaming, tool use, and think work through
+the existing native ollama provider. A dedicated foreman provider (Level 2) is
+deferred unless async /jobs or webhook integration is needed at the llm layer.
