Title: “Failed to fetch (127.0.0.1:9201)” when testing any LLM provider on macOS

Body:

Hi, I’m running BrowserOS on macOS (Intel) and I’m unable to use the “Test” button for any custom LLM provider.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Settings → BrowserOS AI.
  2. Add a provider (tested with Gemini and OpenRouter).
  3. Use the following settings:
    • Gemini
      • Base URL: https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta
      • Model: gemini-2.5-flash
    • OpenRouter
      • Base URL: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
      • Model: openai/gpt-4o
  4. Enter a valid API key and click Test.

Expected behavior:
The provider test succeeds and confirms the connection.

Actual behavior:
The test fails immediately with the error:

Failed to fetch (127.0.0.1:9201)

The same error appears for different providers, so it looks like the internal local server/proxy on 127.0.0.1:9201 is not reachable.

Additional info:

  • OS: macOS (Intel)
  • Elasticsearch is running successfully on http://localhost:9200 and responds correctly.
  • Restarting BrowserOS and changing providers does not fix the issue.

Screenshots attached show the provider configuration and the error message.

Could you please check why the internal test uses 127.0.0.1:9201 and how to fix or bypass this on macOS?
