### Hailo-10H install (`scripts/install-hailo.sh`)

Installs `hailo-ollama` (the Hailo-10H LLM runtime) at a pinned ref, listening on port **7836** (port 8000 is the Django slot in taOS port hygiene and is already probed as a llama-cpp/vllm candidate). Before installing, the script checks for a pre-existing upstream hailo-ollama (something answering `GET /api/tags` on `0.0.0.0:8000`, Hailo's own default). If one is found it reports plainly what was detected and exits, leaving the existing instance untouched rather than silently building a second server that would compete for the accelerator and go unseen by taOS.

### Worker install (`scripts/install-worker.sh`)

Linux uses a two-phase install. Phase 1 runs on the bare host; phase 2 runs inside the `taos-worker` LXC.

### Changed

- The Hailo installer (`scripts/install-hailo.sh`) now checks for a pre-existing
hailo-ollama instance on upstream port 8000 before any install or systemd
mutation. When found (a server answering `GET /api/tags` with `"models"`), the
script prints what was detected, reports that it would have built a second
server on port 7836, and exits — leaving the existing instance untouched. This
prevents the silent coexistence bug from issue #2083 where an upstream
hailo-ollama (running on its default `0.0.0.0:8000`) would go unseen while
taOS built a second server and installed no systemd unit.

Force the probe to use the local host and bound the request.

curl probes http://0.0.0.0:8000/api/tags without proxy bypass or time limits. An ambient proxy can route this guard away from the local server, and an unresponsive listener can block the installer before it installs the managed server. Use 127.0.0.1, disable proxies, and set connection and total time limits.

WARNING: Generic Ollama-compatible check can produce false positives

The detect_preexisting_hailoollama function treats any service responding with "models" on port 8000 as a pre-existing hailo-ollama instance. This matches any Ollama-compatible backend (llama-cpp, vllm, standard Ollama), not just hailo-ollama. The install-rkllama.sh installer explicitly guards against this same class of false positive by requiring both an Ollama-shaped response AND a managed systemd unit before short-circuiting. Consider either making the detection hailo-ollama-specific or acknowledging in the message that the detected service may not be hailo-ollama.

Reply with @kilocode-bot fix it to have Kilo Code address this issue.
