📄 Description

Previously, ollama run treated a non-terminal stdin (such as ollama run model < file) as containing one prompt per line. To run inference on a multi-line prompt, the only non-API workaround was to run ollama run interactively and wrap the prompt in """...""".

Now, ollama run treats a non-terminal stdin as containing a single prompt. For example, if myprompt.txt is a multi-line file, then ollama run model < myprompt.txt would treat myprompt.txt's entire contents as the prompt.

This breaks backcompat, but I believe this behavior is better than the old behavior. It is strictly more powerful than the prior behavior because callers can split a file by lines outside of Ollama and then invoke ollama run once per line on their own.

This is related to https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/issues/357, but that refers to interactive usage.

Fixes #568
