## Overview

#### Purpose and Entry Point
This is a small Kotlin/JVM chatbot application that integrates with an Ollama model service. The likely executable entry point is `src/main/kotlin/OllamaChatbot.kt`, with Gradle used to build and run the application through `build.gradle.kts`.

#### Application Bootstrap
`src/main/kotlin/OllamaChatbot.kt` is the top-level composition point: it likely creates the chatbot flow, wires conversation handling to the Ollama client, and owns process-level startup/shutdown behavior.

Key paths:
- `src/main/kotlin/OllamaChatbot.kt`
- `build.gradle.kts`
- `settings.gradle.kts`

#### Conversation Control
`src/main/kotlin/ConversationHandler.kt` represents the interaction layer between user-facing conversation input and model requests. It is the natural boundary for maintaining conversational state, assembling prompts/messages, and deciding when to delegate to the model client.

Key path:
- `src/main/kotlin/ConversationHandler.kt`

Primary flow: user input or conversation events enter the handler; the handler prepares a request and receives a generated response for the next conversational turn.

#### Ollama Integration Boundary
`src/main/kotlin/OllamaClient.kt` encapsulates communication with the external Ollama runtime. This isolates transport, request/response serialization, model invocation, and service-error handling from the conversation layer.

Key path:
- `src/main/kotlin/OllamaClient.kt`

The external service dependency is an Ollama server/runtime, expected to be available separately from this repository. Application code should not expose Ollama-specific protocol details outside this client boundary.

#### Request and Response Flow
The core control path is:

1. Bootstrap initializes chatbot dependencies in `src/main/kotlin/OllamaChatbot.kt`.
2. Conversation input is processed in `src/main/kotlin/ConversationHandler.kt`.
3. The handler invokes `src/main/kotlin/OllamaClient.kt`.
4. The client sends a model-generation/chat request to Ollama.
5. The returned model output flows back through the handler to the application’s interaction surface.

This structure keeps conversation policy separate from model-service mechanics.

#### Runtime and Build Infrastructure
The repository is a Gradle Kotlin project, using the included Gradle wrapper for reproducible builds.

Key paths:
- `build.gradle.kts`
- `gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties`
- `gradlew`

The material runtime is the JVM/Kotlin application plus an externally running Ollama service and a locally available Ollama model.

#### Verification Boundary
`src/test/kotlin/OllamaClientTest.kt` targets the Ollama integration layer. Its placement indicates that client behavior is the primary externally sensitive contract, including request construction and model-service response handling.

Key path:
- `src/test/kotlin/OllamaClientTest.kt`
