Model unavailable after sending first message

[krissetto]

I noticed that some models I have, that appear in docker model list, when run with docker model run somemodel they say "the model isn't found, pulling from server", but then the cli proceeds to run, and then throws an error when i send the first message, as if the model doesn't exist.

Could be closely related to #634, with the main difference being in that other case the models do redownload, in this case they seem not to and the cli then starts normally

OS: Ubuntu 25.10
