A bug caused the Ollama-specific context window clamp (ollama_num_ctx) to be incorrectly applied to non-Ollama or remote/cloud endpoints, silently reducing large context windows. Multiple fixes were proposed to gate this behavior to local Ollama runtimes only.

## 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evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.40`: 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.
