These issues and fixes address two related bugs: pinned model configurations in cron agent jobs incorrectly falling back to the global provider chain, and Ollama models with sub-64K metadata windows failing a 64K context gate check. The work focuses on keeping explicit model pins isolated from fallback logic and correcting context window handling for local Ollama instances.
