Abhay 51e3d16be9 feat: Add Ollama provider with automatic model discovery (#1606)
* feat: Add Ollama provider with automatic model discovery

- Add Ollama provider builder with automatic model detection
- Discover available models from local Ollama instance via /api/tags API
- Make resolveImplicitProviders async to support dynamic model discovery
- Add comprehensive Ollama documentation with setup and usage guide
- Add tests for Ollama provider integration
- Update provider index and model providers documentation

Closes #1531

* fix: Correct Ollama provider type definitions and error handling

- Fix input property type to match ModelDefinitionConfig
- Import ModelDefinitionConfig type properly
- Fix error template literal to use String() for type safety
- Simplify return type signature of discoverOllamaModels

* fix: Suppress unhandled promise warnings from ensureClawdbotModelsJson in tests

- Cast unused promise returns to 'unknown' to suppress TypeScript warnings
- Tests that don't await the promise are intentionally not awaiting it
- This fixes the failing test suite caused by unawaited async calls

* fix: Skip Ollama model discovery during tests

- Check for VITEST or NODE_ENV=test before making HTTP requests
- Prevents test timeouts and hangs from network calls
- Ollama discovery will still work in production/normal usage

* fix: Set VITEST environment variable in test setup

- Ensures Ollama discovery is skipped in all test runs
- Prevents network calls during tests that could cause timeouts

* test: Temporarily skip Ollama provider tests to diagnose CI failures

* fix: Make Ollama provider opt-in to avoid breaking existing tests

**Root Cause:**
The Ollama provider was being added to ALL configurations by default
(with a fallback API key of 'ollama-local'), which broke tests that
expected NO providers when no API keys were configured.

**Solution:**
- Removed the default fallback API key for Ollama
- Ollama provider now requires explicit configuration via:
  - OLLAMA_API_KEY environment variable, OR
  - Ollama profile in auth store
- Updated documentation to reflect the explicit configuration requirement
- Added a test to verify Ollama is not added by default

This fixes all 4 failing test suites:
- checks (node, test, pnpm test)
- checks (bun, test, bunx vitest run)
- checks-windows (node, test, pnpm test)
- checks-macos (test, pnpm test)

Closes #1531

Model providers (LLMs) supported by Clawdbot
You want to choose a model provider
You need a quick overview of supported LLM backends

Model Providers

Clawdbot can use many LLM providers. Pick a provider, authenticate, then set the default model as provider/model.

Looking for chat channel docs (WhatsApp/Telegram/Discord/Slack/Mattermost (plugin)/etc.)? See Channels.

Quick start

  1. Authenticate with the provider (usually via clawdbot onboard).
  2. Set the default model:
{
  agents: { defaults: { model: { primary: "anthropic/claude-opus-4-5" } } }
}
