A missing baseline should produce a failed preflight—not a blank treated as zero.

In this run, the requested Ollama model was not installed. Lizard recorded the exact command, failure reason and exit status, then refused to manufacture an Ollama measurement.

The later Native, Caterpillar and llama.cpp run is valid for those providers. Ollama remains unmeasured.

Reliable benchmarking begins by preserving failure evidence.

Engineering fact: When the requested Ollama model is absent, Lizard records the failed preflight and produces no synthetic Ollama measurement.
