fix: normalize minimal ollama provider config (#69370) (thanks @PratikRai0101)

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - OpenAI Codex: route ChatGPT/Codex OAuth Responses requests through the `/backend-api/codex` endpoint so `openai-codex/gpt-5.4` no longer hits the removed `/backend-api/responses` alias. (#69336) Thanks @mzogithub.
 - Gateway/pairing: treat loopback shared-secret node-host, TUI, and gateway clients as local for pairing decisions, so trusted local tools no longer reconnect as remote clients and fail with `pairing required`. (#69431) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.
 - Active Memory: degrade gracefully when memory recall fails during prompt building, logging a warning and letting the reply continue without memory context instead of failing the whole turn. (#69485) Thanks @Magicray1217.
+- Ollama: add provider-policy defaults for `baseUrl` and `models` so implicit local discovery can run before config validation rejects a minimal Ollama provider config. (#69370) Thanks @PratikRai0101.
 - Telegram/status reactions: honor `messages.removeAckAfterReply` when lifecycle status reactions are enabled, clearing or restoring the reaction after success/error using the configured hold timings. (#68067) Thanks @poiskgit.
 - Web search/plugins: resolve plugin-scoped SecretRef API keys for bundled Exa, Firecrawl, Gemini, Kimi, Perplexity, Tavily, and Grok web-search providers when they are selected through the shared web-search config. (#68424) Thanks @afurm.
 - Telegram/polling: raise the default polling watchdog threshold from 90s to 120s and add configurable `channels.telegram.pollingStallThresholdMs` (also per-account) so long-running Telegram work gets more room before polling is treated as stalled. (#57737) Thanks @Vitalcheffe.
