@@ -27,6 +27,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Control UI/Debug log layout: render Debug Event Log payloads at full width to prevent payload JSON from being squeezed into a narrow side column. Landed from contributor PR #30978 by @stozo04. Thanks @stozo04.
 - Cron editor viewport: make the sticky cron edit form independently scrollable with viewport-bounded height so lower fields/actions are reachable on shorter screens. Landed from contributor PR #31133 by @Sid-Qin. Thanks @Sid-Qin.
 - Agents/Thinking fallback: when providers reject unsupported thinking levels without enumerating alternatives, retry with `think=off` to avoid hard failure during model/provider fallback chains. Landed from contributor PR #31002 by @yfge. Thanks @yfge.
+- Ollama/Embedded runner base URL precedence: prioritize configured provider `baseUrl` over model defaults for embedded Ollama runs so Docker and remote-host setups avoid localhost fetch failures. (#30964) Thanks @stakeswky.
 - Agents/Failover reason classification: avoid false rate-limit classification from incidental `tpm` substrings by matching TPM as a standalone token/phrase and keeping auth-context errors on the auth path. Landed from contributor PR #31007 by @HOYALIM. Thanks @HOYALIM.
 - Slack/Announce target account routing: enable session-backed announce-target lookup for Slack so multi-account announces resolve the correct `accountId` instead of defaulting to bot-token context. Landed from contributor PR #31028 by @taw0002. Thanks @taw0002.
 - Tools/Edit workspace boundary errors: preserve the real `Path escapes workspace root` failure path instead of surfacing a misleading access/file-not-found error when editing outside workspace roots. Landed from contributor PR #31015 by @haosenwang1018. Thanks @haosenwang1018.
