Bug type

Regression (worked before, now fails)

Summary

Environment:

• OpenClaw version: 2026.3.13 (61d171a)
• OS: macOS (Apple Silicon M4)
• Auth method: OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT OAuth)

Describe the bug:
After upgrading from 2026.3.12 → 2026.3.13, the Web Control Dashboard model switcher
began sending incorrect provider prefixes when switching to openai-codex and google
provider models.

Error shown in dashboard:
Failed to set model: GatewayRequestError: model not allowed: ollama/gpt-5.2-codex
Failed to set model: GatewayRequestError: model not allowed: ollama/gemini-3.1-pro-preview

The gateway is correctly rejecting these requests — the bug is the dashboard
constructing the wrong model ref string (prepending ollama/ instead of the correct
provider prefix).

Workaround:
Downgrade to 2026.3.12:
openclaw update --tag [email protected] --yes

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure openai-codex provider via openclaw configure (ChatGPT OAuth method)
2. Upgrade to 2026.3.13
3. Open Web Control Dashboard
4. Use the model dropdown to switch to any openai-codex or google model
5. Error appears immediately

Expected behavior

Dashboard should send openai-codex/gpt-5.2-codex, not ollama/gpt-5.2-codex.
TUI /model command works correctly — this is a dashboard-only regression.

Actual behavior

Environment:

• OpenClaw version: 2026.3.13 (61d171a)

OpenClaw version

26.03.13

Operating system

macos26.3.1a

Install method

No response

Model

openai codex all models

Provider / routing chain

openclaw->openai codex->all 7 models

Additional provider/model setup details

• The TUI /model command correctly switches models (backend routing is fine)
• Clearing browser cache, switching browsers, reinstalling via install.sh did NOT fix the issue
• The bug only affects providers not natively hardcoded in the dashboard frontend (openai-codex, google)
• Confirmed regression: 2026.3.12 does not have this issue (model switching UI did not exist in 3.12, feature was introduced in 3.13)
