Summary

OpenClaw shipped a May 6 hotfix to keep doctor --fix from rewriting valid openai-codex routes, after users reported the repair path breaking OAuth-based Codex setups. The fix is narrow but important for teams using Codex as a first-class provider inside OpenClaw.

What changed

OpenClaw 2026.5.6 removed the legacy Codex route rewrite from doctor --fix on the release branch.

Why it matters

This is the kind of repair that determines whether multi-provider agent hubs feel trustworthy in production. A config fixer that rewrites auth routes can break entire model access paths even when the underlying provider is healthy.

Evidence excerpt

The 2026.5.6 hotfix keeps doctor --fix from applying the legacy Codex route rewrite that could mutate supported OpenAI-Codex configurations.
