- #44207: Bug #17685: delegation context_length ignored for Ollama Cloud models — subagents fail with 'Context length exceeded (1,584 tokens)'
- PR #89138: fix(agent): resolve context_length from active model config before shared defaults

Two bug reports describe delegated subagents or delegate_task hitting 'Context length exceeded' errors with Ollama Cloud models, with configured context_length overrides apparently not being applied. A related pull request proposes resolving context_length from the active model config before shared defaults; the members do not themselves confirm whether this addresses the reports.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.45`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
