2026.3.1 macOS — Ollama auto-discovery not working.
qwen3.5:9b installed, ollama running, curl to /api/tags works,
model reports "tools" capability via /api/show.
OLLAMA_API_KEY set in both ~/.openclaw/.env and config env section.
No explicit models.providers.ollama entry.
openclaw models list never shows Ollama models.
Gateway starts clean, no errors.
Anyone solved this?

openclaw models list --all --local
If that shows your Ollama models, discovery is working — you just weren’t listing the full catalog. To actually use one, set your default model:
openclaw models set ollama/qwen3.5:9b
If --all --provider ollama still shows nothing, the next 2 things to check are:
