On Ubuntu 24.04, `nemoclaw onboard` with the local Ollama inference provider fails at step [3/8] Configuring inference provider. After applying the Ollama systemd loopback override (OLLAMA_HOST=127.0.0.1:11434), the Ollama auth proxy does not come up on :11435, so the onboard aborts. Containers cannot reach Ollama without this proxy.

Device:        GitLab CI runner — NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition (97887 MB), 16 vCPU / 251 GiB RAM
OS:            Ubuntu 24.04
Architecture:  x86_64
OpenShell CLI: 0.0.44
NemoClaw:      v0.0.59

1. On an Ubuntu 24.04 host with local Ollama installed (listening on localhost:11434).
2. Run nemoclaw onboard and select the local Ollama inference provider.
3. Onboard reaches [3/8] Configuring inference provider and applies the Ollama
   systemd loopback override (OLLAMA_HOST=127.0.0.1:11434).
4. Observe that the auth proxy on :11435 never starts and onboard aborts.

The Ollama auth proxy starts on :11435 and onboard completes; containers can reach Ollama through the proxy.

  Check if port 11435 is already in use: lsof -ti :11435
