Overview
Fixes a segfault when llama_context creation fails.
In
server-context.cpp::load_model, the return fromcommon_init_from_paramsis checked for a null model but not a null context. When context creation fails,llama_n_ctx(ctx)dereferences null and crashes.This adds a null check for ctx matching the existing model check.
Ref: #21450
Reproduction Steps:
On Apple Silicon,
It segfaulted before. Now it clean exits with an error message.
