"Unable to parse chat response" randomly when interacting with a local agent.

Description

Steps to trigger the problem:

1. Install local qwen3-coder model
2. Interact with it in the agent panel
3. Error occurs after a short but unpredictable time. More likely during longer responses.

Expected Behavior: Communicate with agent without issue
Actual Behavior: Agent has to retry its response

Model Provider Details

• Provider: Ollama
• Model Name: qwen3-coder:30B
• Mode: Agent Panel (no others tried)
• Other Details (MCPs, other settings, etc): Happens much more frequently with custom settings (lower max_tokens). Not sure if the max_tokens difference is actually to blame itself.
