Behavior bug (incorrect output/state without crash)

Summary

On OpenClaw 2026.3.8 (3caab92) with Node 22.22.0 on macOS, I’m using openai-codex/gpt-5.4 with openai-codex OAuth.

Running:

openclaw models auth login --provider openai-codex
opens the browser auth flow successfully. The browser finishes with:

Authentication successful. Return to your terminal to continue.
But the terminal then shows:

OpenAI OAuth failed
TypeError: fetch failed

After that, agent execution fails with:

Provider openai-codex has auth_permanent issue (skipping all models) (auth_permanent)
What I checked:

• gateway is installed/running

• browser localhost callback succeeds

• no proxy env vars

• curl to auth.openai.com and api.openai.com works

• Node fetch to https://api.openai.com also works

This looks like a failure in OpenClaw’s post-callback OAuth handling for openai-codex, not a general network issue.

Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround?
