PR fix notes

PR #14993: launch: fix openclaw --model override handling

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

ollama launch openclaw --model <model> was still running readiness checks against saved secondary models, so an explicit launch like --model kimi-k2.5:cloud could still prompt to download qwen3.5:35b.

Only ensure the override model during launch while preserving saved secondary models in config. Also normalize cached OpenClaw session model state (modelOverride / providerOverride and runtime model / modelProvider) so the new primary model takes effect immediately instead of being shadowed by stale session data.

Fixes #14990.

Fix Plan

The fix involves updating the dependencies to ensure compatibility and resolving the download issue for the required package.

  • Check the package version and update it if necessary
  • Verify the package repository and update the package list
  • Install the required package (e.g., qwen3.5:35b) using the package manager

Example Code

# Update package list
sudo apt update

# Install the required package
sudo apt install qwen3.5

# If the package is not found, try searching for it
sudo apt search qwen

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, check if the package is installed correctly and if the issue is resolved.

# Check if the package is installed
dpkg -l | grep qwen

Extra Tips

  • Make sure to update the package list regularly to ensure you have the latest packages.
  • If the package is not found in the default repository, you may need to add a third-party repository or install it from source.
