Auto-download Llama server

Inside the app, press Auto download to fetch the Llama server files Quietly needs. That pulls the runtime so you are not hunting for binaries by hand.

Pick a backend & download a model

Choose Llama.cpp or AirLLM, select a model to download, and let it finish. For coding, Llama 3.1 8B or Code Llama in GGUF form are solid defaults.
