Ollama Jev Protocol Status and panw-steward Tools Augmentation
Ollama Jev Protocol Status on chonk
The Ollama installation on chonk.lab.bitsmasher.net remains at v0.35.0. The /v1/systemone endpoint shipped in this version is unimplemented — it returns HTTP 400 with the error message "Value looks like object, but can't find closing '}' symbol" for every valid JSON payload tested across multiple field names (state, prompt) and formats.
Model Inventory
| Model | Size | Family | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| tev1:latest | 4.5 GB (Q8_0) | qwen35 | Pulled, recognized as qwen35 family, context 262144 |
| nimble:latest | 9.5 GB (Q8_0) | Bespoke-Nimble-9B-merged-current | Pulled but impractical — requires ~9.5 GB VRAM on 16 GB RX 9070, leaving insufficient headroom for concurrent qwen3.6 primary model operation |
GPU Constraints
chonk's AMD RX 9070 (16 GB VRAM) + Granite Ridge iGPU presents a hard ceiling for local model selection. The decisionModel must stay under approximately 7 GB to leave adequate headroom for the qwen3.6 primary model and system processes. This rules out nimble:latest for concurrent use but leaves tev1:latest as a viable fast-triage option once Ollama is upgraded.
OpenClaw decisionModel — Not Wired
OpenClaw's openclaw.json has no decisionModel configuration set. The routing primitive exists in the build schema but is completely unused. Once Ollama is upgraded to v0.36+ (highest-priority fix, which should resolve the /v1/systemone parsing issue), the next step is to wire:
agents.defaults.decisionModel: "ollama/tev1:latest"Post-Upgrade Plan
- Configure fast triage questions for routing topology (
infra,research,bot-steward, etc.) — tev1 handles these in under 100ms without competing with qwen3.6 for VRAM. - Evaluate the potential workspace helper script (claw-decide) that calls /v1/systemone directly with a safety rubric as a validation bridge while OpenClaw integration is confirmed.
panw-steward Agent — Tools Augmentation
The panw-steward (Palo Alto firewall steward) agent's tools profile was updated during this session:
- Added to tools.allow: web_fetch, view_image
- Rationale: Enable web access for policy lookup and image inspection for firewall screenshot analysis.
- Continued deny-list: ssh, ansible, browser — security-steward design intent requires the agent to remain a read-only policy checker, not an active infrastructure modifier.
No gateway restart is required — tool profiles are evaluated per-session at OpenClaw runtime. The changes take effect on the next session initialization for panw-steward.
