Roo Code Task Context (Optional)

This PR was created with assistance from Roo Code to address the feature request.

Description

This PR adds API key support to the Ollama Embedder Provider, enabling authentication with remote protected Ollama instances. The implementation:

  • Adds an optional ollamaApiKey parameter to the CodeIndexOllamaEmbedder class
  • Includes Bearer token authentication in all API requests when an API key is provided
  • Updates the configuration system to securely store and retrieve the Ollama API key
  • Adds a UI field for entering the API key in the Code Index settings
  • Maintains full backward compatibility with local Ollama instances that don't require authentication

Key implementation details:

  • API keys are stored securely using VSCode's secret storage API
  • The authentication header is conditionally added only when an API key is present
  • Follows the same patterns as other embedder providers (OpenAI, Gemini, etc.) for consistency

Test Procedure

Manual Testing Steps:

  1. Open the Code Indexing settings in the extension
  2. Select "Ollama" as the embedder provider
  3. Enter a base URL for your remote Ollama instance
  4. Enter an API key in the new "Ollama API Key" field
  5. Test the connection to verify authentication works
  6. Verify that local Ollama instances still work without an API key

Automated Tests:

  • Added 8 new test cases in src/services/code-index/embedders/__tests__/ollama.spec.ts
  • Tests cover authentication scenarios, error handling, and backward compatibility
  • All tests pass successfully

Pre-Submission Checklist

  • Issue Linked: This PR is linked to an approved GitHub Issue (see "Related GitHub Issue" above).
  • Scope: My changes are focused on the linked issue (one major feature/fix per PR).
  • Self-Review: I have performed a thorough self-review of my code.
  • Testing: New and/or updated tests have been added to cover my changes (if applicable).
  • Documentation Impact: I have considered if my changes require documentation updates (see "Documentation Updates" section below).
  • Contribution Guidelines: I have read and agree to the Contributor Guidelines.

Screenshots / Videos

This is primarily a backend change with minimal UI impact. The only visible change is the addition of an API key field in the Code Index settings when Ollama is selected as the embedder provider, which follows the same pattern as other providers.

Documentation Updates

  • No documentation updates are required.
  • Yes, documentation updates are required. The documentation should be updated to mention that Ollama embedder now supports API key authentication for remote instances.

Additional Notes

This implementation provides feature parity with other embedder providers by adding the requested API key support. The changes are minimal and focused, following existing patterns in the codebase to ensure consistency and maintainability.
