Description

While configuring Ollama (Local) as the provider in the Superpowers AI browser extension, the Test Connection action consistently fails with the following result:

Test Result:
403 status code (no body)

This happens even though the Ollama server is running correctly and is reachable outside the extension.

The issue occurs:

• When Ollama is running on the same machine
• When Ollama is running on another server in the same network
• When Ollama is running on an external/remote server

The behavior is identical in all cases.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the Superpowers AI extension
2. Open the side panel → Settings
3. Select Provider: Ollama (Local)
4. Enter a valid Ollama base URL (for example: http://127.0.0.1:11434)
5. Click Test Connection

Expected Behavior

The connection test should succeed when the Ollama server is running and reachable.

Actual Behavior

The test always fails with:

403 status code (no body)

No additional error details are shown.

Additional Notes
