Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is a nice-to-have: In version 0.21 of the Copilot plugin, Ollama has been added as a provider for models. For the built-in models, the context window size is shown on the model information card. But for Ollama models this information is absent, also the context window information overlay shows that information.
Describe the solution you'd like

it would be nice also to have the context window size shown for local models:
Describe alternatives you've considered
Additional context

Research direction
Start by tracing how the Ollama provider supplies model metadata to the model information card and the context window information overlay, then compare it with the built-in model path. The feature is done when the Ollama model context window size appears in both places, matching the existing display for built-in models.
