… auth Add a failing-by-design regression for #78407 — the legacy `openai-codex/*` repair in `maybeRepairCodexRoutes` rewrites every primary, fallback, modelOverride, and modelCatalog ref to `openai/*` and sets `agentRuntime.id: "pi"` whenever the codex CLI plugin isn't installed, even when the user authenticates via openai-codex OAuth (ChatGPT account) and has no `openai:*` profile. First boot then fails with `FailoverError: No API key found for provider "openai"`. Root cause: `resolveCodexRepairRuntime` in src/commands/doctor/shared/codex-route-warnings.ts requires both `isCodexPluginInstalledAndEnabled` AND `hasUsableCodexOAuthProfile`. For mainstream OAuth users the second check passes but the first fails (they never installed the codex CLI subprocess plugin), so the migration drops them onto the PI runtime, which then can't resolve the rewritten `openai/*` refs against an `openai-codex:*`-only auth store. The reproduction uses `it.fails` so CI stays green until the migration learns to skip or compensate for the missing `openai/*` auth, at which point vitest will force removal of the marker. Adds a small generic invariant (`findModelRefsWithoutAuth`) that any future migration touching model refs should preserve: every primary/fallback/catalog ref must point at a provider with at least one usable auth profile. Wired up with a clean-fixture pass case and a hypothetical-bad-migration fail case so future regressions of the same shape can extend it cheaply. Also lands extensions/qa-lab/transport-parity-gate.md as scaffolding for the broader transport-parity gate proposed in #78457 — the doctor regression here is the first slice; the matrix work (provider parity + runtime parity, openai vs openai-codex × pi vs codex) is left as a follow-up. Commit used --no-verify because the worktree has no node_modules and the local hook tried to run missing `oxfmt`; same workaround as #78142. CI will run the suite cleanly. Refs #78407, #78457.

Codex review: needs real behavior proof before merge. Summary Reproducibility: yes. source inspection and linked live reports give a high-confidence reproduction path: an openai-codex OAuth-only config can be rewritten by doctor repair into openai/* plus pi, which then fails or bills through the direct OpenAI provider. Real behavior proof Next step before merge Security Review findings
Review detailsBest possible solution: Use a current-config, runtime/auth-aware regression for the doctor bug, and keep the broader transport-parity matrix in #78457 until maintainers choose the gate policy. Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue? Yes, source inspection and linked live reports give a high-confidence reproduction path: an openai-codex OAuth-only config can be rewritten by doctor repair into openai/* plus pi, which then fails or bills through the direct OpenAI provider. Is this the best way to solve the issue? No, not as written. The regression should be built around current config keys and the real auth/runtime resolver so a valid fix using Codex runtime or auth aliasing does not remain hidden behind it.fails.

Thanks for pinning #78407 with a regression test. I can confirm from a live production setup that the issue is not limited to the “OAuth-only user has no OpenAI API key and gets There is also a mixed-profile failure mode where the migration can become a billing footgun. Live setup:
Observed behavior after the update / doctor migration:
Because an We then tried to move the setup to the documented native Codex route:
That exposed a second failure mode. The native Codex harness selected / forwarded the wrong auth profile: Relevant log line: So for this PR’s regression coverage, I think the fixture should probably include a mixed-profile case, not only an OAuth-only/no-OpenAI-auth case:
In other words, the invariant should not only be “does the rewritten provider have some auth?” It should also protect the billing/auth transport boundary:
The dangerous case is that the migration can turn the first into the third without explicit user consent. I also posted the live mixed-profile follow-up in #78407 for context. |

Closing as superseded. #78407 was fixed on main by #79238 ("Keep OpenAI Codex migrations on automatic runtime routing", 02fe0d8) and @steipete closed the issue with proof on 2026-05-07. CHANGELOG on main (line 195):
Post-#79238
The `it.fails` repro here is too narrow to lock in the post-#79238 contract — the `findModelRefsWithoutAuth` walker only inspects raw config provider prefixes and doesn't see the runtime-policy resolver, so it would still report every `openai/*` ref as orphaned even on the fixed code. Reframing it against `resolveModelRuntimePolicy` is more rework than re-filing as a fresh test. Happy to extract `extensions/qa-lab/transport-parity-gate.md` into its own PR tied to #78457 if that scaffolding is still wanted. |
Summary
Umbrella reproduction PR for #78407 plus scaffolding for the transport-parity gate proposed in #78457.
This is not a fix — it is a failing-by-design regression test that pins the bug down at the unit level so the eventual fix has a clear target, plus a generic invariant function that any future migration touching model refs can extend cheaply.
Background
After upgrading from
2026.5.4to2026.5.5, the launchd post-update handler runsopenclaw doctor --non-interactive --fix. The doctor migration insrc/commands/doctor/shared/codex-route-warnings.tsrewrites everyopenai-codex/*model ref in the user's config toopenai/*and setsagentRuntime.id: \"pi\"when the codex CLI plugin isn't installed. The mainstream OAuth-only user (ChatGPT account, noOPENAI_API_KEY, no codex CLI plugin) lands on a PI runtime trying to useopenai/*refs against an auth store with onlyopenai-codex:*profiles. First boot fails:Full bug write-up with logs, config diffs, and timeline: #78407.
Root cause (pinned during this PR)
resolveCodexRepairRuntime(src/commands/doctor/shared/codex-route-warnings.ts:602-618) requires both:isCodexPluginInstalledAndEnabled— the codex CLI subprocess plugin (the wrapper around the Codex CLI binary) is installed and enabled, ANDhasUsableCodexOAuthProfile— there's a usable openai-codex OAuth profile.If only #2 is true (which is the mainstream user shape — they auth via ChatGPT OAuth, but never installed the codex CLI plugin), the resolver falls back to
\"pi\". The migration then uses the rewrittenopenai/*refs against a PI runtime that requires anopenai:*auth profile the user doesn't have.The decision tree is missing a third option: "openai-codex provider transport via PI runtime" — keep the openai-codex provider plugin in the loop even though the codex CLI plugin isn't there, since the embedded openai-codex provider has its own working transport.
