test: add comprehensive tests for issue #87 fixes

Add unit tests to verify:
- Ollama unmarshal error detection and helpful error messages
- Various error handling scenarios (500, 404, timeouts, etc.)
- maxRetries configuration support and defaults
- Configuration type safety for AIProviderConfig

All tests pass successfully, confirming the error handling
improvements work as expected.
