Summary: - The branch makes unknown-capabilities Ollama model definitions explicitly tool-capable, adds regression assertions and changelog text, and guards the issue-labeler job to run only on issue events. - Reproducibility: yes. for the metadata gap: current main builds unknown-capabilities Ollama models without a ... er-fix live provider output with `supportsTools: true`. I did not run local tests in this read-only review. Automerge notes: - PR branch already contained follow-up commit before automerge: fix(ollama): default unknown capabilities to tools Validation: - ClawSweeper review passed for head 2752771. - Required merge gates passed before the squash merge.

 ### Fixes
 
+- Providers/Ollama: default unknown-capabilities models to tool-capable so discovered native Ollama models can use tools when `/api/show` omits capabilities. (#84055) Thanks @dutifulbob.
 - Installer/Windows: launch `install.ps1` onboarding as an attached child process so fresh native Windows installs do not freeze visibly at `Starting setup...` or corrupt the wizard's terminal rendering.
 - Memory/search: close local embedding providers when active-memory searches time out so pending local model loads and embedding contexts are aborted and released. (#83858) Thanks @brokemac79.
 - Agents: include bounded trajectory queued-writer diagnostics in `pi-trajectory-flush` timeout warnings so flush stalls show pending writes, queued bytes, and append state. Fixes #82961. (#82962) Thanks @galiniliev.
