Follow-up to #274: the merged scheme validation accepts host-less URLs (http://, https://), which then fail opaquely inside urlopen(). Add a minimal netloc check after the existing scheme check, so a missing host is rejected up front with a clear argparse error. Additive; keeps the existing scheme message intact.
Add urllib.parse.urlparse to benchmark-local.py and validate that the
provided --ollama-url uses either the http or https scheme.
Fix arbitrary URI handling where the script could previously access
local files (file://) or other unsupported protocols. If the scheme
is invalid, parser.error is called to exit cleanly with a clear message.
Fixes the local benchmark LOC counter (counted only fenced code, scored bare output 0), makes summary output ASCII-safe (a Unicode arrow crashed the script on Windows cp1252), gitignores generated artifacts, and refreshes the llama3.2 writeup with n=5 data showing the LOC effect is within the noise floor. Follow-up to #63. Verified live.
