fix(hooks): honor configured ollama slug timeout (#66455)

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Browser: keep loopback CDP readiness checks reachable under strict SSRF defaults so OpenClaw can reconnect to locally started managed Chrome. (#66354) Thanks @hxy91819.
 - Agents/context engine: compact engine-owned sessions from the first tool-loop delta and preserve ingest fallback when `afterTurn` is absent, so long-running tool loops can stay bounded without dropping engine state. (#63555) Thanks @Bikkies.
 - Discord/native commands: return the real status card for native `/status` interactions instead of falling through to the synthetic `✅ Done.` ack when the generic dispatcher produces no visible reply. (#54629) Thanks @tkozzer and @vincentkoc.
+- Hooks/Ollama: let LLM-backed session-memory slug generation honor an explicit `agents.defaults.timeoutSeconds` override instead of always aborting after 15 seconds, so slow local Ollama runs stop silently dropping back to generic filenames. (#66237) Thanks @dmak and @vincentkoc.
