Issue

Closes #6871

Context

The Ollama docs mention local setup, while BYOK and Gateway docs also list Ollama Cloud. That can make CLI setup ambiguous for users who want to connect Kilo to a local ollama serve daemon.

Implementation

Added a short callout that separates the local Ollama provider from hosted Ollama Cloud models, and repeated the ollama/<model_name> model ID guidance in the CLI tab. I also corrected the nearby timeout heading typo.

Screenshots / Video

N/A - docs text only.

How to Test

Manual/local verification

  • Reviewed packages/kilo-docs/pages/ai-providers/ollama.md against the docs Markdoc guidance.
  • Ran git diff --check.

Reviewer test steps

  1. Open /docs/ai-providers/ollama.
  2. Confirm the "Local Ollama vs. Ollama Cloud" callout appears near the top.
  3. Confirm the CLI tab says local Ollama uses ollama/<model_name>, not ollama-cloud/....

Blocked checks and substitute verification

  • bun run --filter @kilocode/kilo-docs build could not be run locally because bun is not installed in this Windows session. Substitute verification was static diff validation with git diff --check plus manual Markdoc syntax review.

Checklist

  • Issue linked above, or exception explained
  • Tests/verification described
  • Screenshots/video included for visual changes, or marked N/A
  • Changeset considered for user-facing changes
  • I personally reviewed the diff and can explain the changes.
