Add Proper Session Cleanup for the Ollama Client

[Aryan27-max]

Description

The Ollama client currently creates a persistent requests.Session() to improve request performance, but the session is never explicitly closed.

While this is generally acceptable for short-lived executions, it can lead to unnecessary resource usage during long-running watch mode sessions, repeated test runs, or future integrations where multiple client instances may be created.

Improve the client by implementing proper session lifecycle management.

---

Tasks

• Add an explicit close() method to the Ollama client.
• (Optional) Implement context manager support using __enter__() and __exit__().
• Ensure the pipeline properly closes the session after execution.
• Update unit tests to verify that sessions are cleaned up correctly.
• Preserve the existing API and behavior for current users.

---

Files to Modify

• llm/ollama.py
• core/pipeline.py
• tests/test_ollama.py

---

Suggested Implementation

Possible approaches include:

• Implement a close() method that releases the underlying requests.Session.
• Support usage such as:

with OllamaClient(...) as client:
    ...

• Ensure watch mode and long-running processes clean up resources gracefully on exit.

---

Acceptance Criteria

• The Ollama client exposes a close() method.
• Session resources are released after use.
• Context manager support is implemented (optional but encouraged).
• The pipeline uses the cleanup mechanism where appropriate.
• Unit tests verify session cleanup.
• Existing functionality remains unchanged.

GitHub Issue: Add Proper Session Cleanup for the Ollama Client

URL: #10

Solution Submission

This solution implements proper resource management for the Ollama client by adding an explicit close() method and supporting Python's context manager protocol (__enter__ and __exit__). Updates have been applied to the pipeline usage and comprehensive unit tests have been added to verify correct session cleanup while maintaining existing API compatibility.

📁 llm/ollama.py (Modified)

We update OllamaClient by incorporating resource management methods (close, __enter__, __exit__) that specifically manage the lifecycle of the internal requests.Session.

import requests
from typing import Optional, Literal, Any, Dict
import json

    """

        print(f"OllamaClient initialized with session at {id(self.session)}")

    def __enter__(self):
        """Allows use of client within a 'with' statement."""
        return self

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        """Ensures the session is closed when exiting the 'with' block."""
        self.close()

        return 10

📁 core/pipeline.py (Modified)

We update the pipeline execution to utilize the context manager pattern when processing or running complex sequences of client operations, ensuring guaranteed cleanup regardless of success or failure.

        self._client = OllamaClient(base_url=base_url)

    def run(self, model: str, prompt: str) -> str:
        """

        print("--- Starting Pipeline Execution ---")
        try:
            # Using 'with' statement ensures __exit__ (and thus close()) is called automatically.
            with OllamaClient(base_url=self._client._base_url) as client:
                # 1. Check connection (Example usage)
                print("Verifying connectivity...")

        print("--- Pipeline Execution Finished (Cleanup successful) ---\n")
