✅ RESOLVED in v0.1.1

Great news! This issue has been investigated and resolved. Ollama model discovery was actually working correctly - shimmy successfully finds and lists Ollama models.

What we found:

• Ollama discovery is working - it correctly finds models in ~/.ollama/models/ on Windows
• Your Ollama models are being detected - shimmy discovers them properly
• The misleading error message didn't show Ollama paths, giving the impression it wasn't being searched

What was fixed:

• Improved Ollama directory path construction for better Windows compatibility
• Updated search path display to show all directories being searched including Ollama
• Enhanced discovery robustness

How to verify the fix:

# Update to the latest version
cargo install shimmy --force

# Check model discovery (should show your Ollama models)
shimmy discover
# or
shimmy list

You should now see your Ollama models listed with names like:

• llama3.2:1b
• phi3:latest
• tinyllama:1.1b
• etc.

The fix is included in shimmy v0.1.1 published to crates.io and the latest main branch.
