What is the issue?

I upgraded ollama from 0.24.0 to 0.30.0 on macOS:

brew upgrade ollama

But now chatting with the model throws an error:

<img width="1613" height="42" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/dfa430c8-5548-4608-80b0-b588f2af0769" />

The error is:

llama-server binary not found
