fix(twitch): register chat intent for refreshing auth (#83750)

TurboTheTurtle · clawsweeper[bot] · web-flow · commit 3bc728eaa993 · 2026-05-19T21:20:25.000Z
Summary: - The PR registers Twitch refreshing-token users with Twurple's chat intent and adds regression coverage for that contract. - Reproducibility: yes. by source and dependency contract. Current main does not register the chat intent, and ... RefreshingAuthProvider only resolves getAccessTokenForIntent('chat') when that intent is mapped to a user. Automerge notes: - PR branch already contained follow-up commit before automerge: fix(twitch): register chat intent for refreshing auth Validation: - ClawSweeper review passed for head 1fdadcf. - Required merge gates passed before the squash merge. Prepared head SHA: 1fdadcf Review: #83750 (comment) Co-authored-by: Andy Ye <35905412+TurboTheTurtle@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: clawsweeper <274271284+clawsweeper[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: clawsweeper[bot] <274271284+clawsweeper[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

@@ -94,6 +94,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Telegram: keep queued forum-topic follow-up messages from inheriting superseded source abort signals, so later same-topic user turns can still run and reply after an active turn is replaced. (#83827) Thanks @VACInc.
 - CLI/update: bypass npm freshness filters consistently during managed package and plugin installs so freshly published release plugins remain installable. Thanks @jalehman.
 - CLI/update: guide root-owned npm install EACCES recovery by stopping the managed Gateway before manual package replacement, then reinstalling and restarting the service. Fixes #83747. (#83757) Thanks @brokemac79.
+- Twitch: register refreshing chat tokens with Twurple's chat intent so automatic token refresh keeps chat access available. (#83750) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
 - Agents/subagents: keep collect-mode announce queues batching unresolved-origin items with compatible same-route messages and resume collection after a true cross-channel drain when a later compatible batch remains. Fixes #83577.
 - Skills: refresh existing session skill snapshots when watched skill roots change, so changed extra skill directories take effect without starting a new session. Fixes #83782. (#83800) Thanks @hclsys.
 - Providers/Anthropic: preserve native image input for current Claude model rows when stale local catalog data marks them text-only. (#83756) Thanks @TurboTheTurtle.
