Strix does not perform automated scans with Ollama2 local model on Windows 11

Describe the bug
When trying to use Strix with Ollama2 as the local model on Windows 11, the agent starts and interacts automatically but does not perform the intended scan on the target. The AI seems to “talk alone” and does not carry out the security audit or scanning tasks as expected.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Strix on Windows 11.

2. Set up Ollama2 locally with the model available.

3. Configure Strix environment variables:

   • STRIX_LLM=ollama/ollama2
   • LLM_API_BASE=http://localhost:11434
   • LLM_API_KEY=local

4. Run the command:

   strix -n -t 192.168.1.141

   or with instructions:

   strix -n -t 192.168.1.141 --instruction "Perform authorized security audit only"

Expected behavior
Strix should use the Ollama2 model to perform a structured, automated scan of the target (192.168.1.141), detect vulnerabilities, and save results in the agent_runs folder. The agent should not just output text without scanning.

System Information:

• OS: Windows 11
  ** Python Version: 3.12
• LLM Used: Ollama2 local

Additional context

• Ollama2 is running and reachable at http://localhost:11434.
• Strix seems to recognize the model (AI outputs responses) but does not execute scanning tasks.
• This may indicate that Strix is not recognizing the local Ollama2 model as capable of performing automated scanning.
