Problem

Multiple Google-based providers are failing with authentication errors and extreme request timeouts.

Affected Providers

All Google providers are failing:

• google (Gemini)
• google-antigravity (Claude via Google OAuth)
• google-gemini-cli
• google-vertex
• github-copilot (Claude via GitHub)

Error Analysis

1. Missing API Keys

FailoverError: No API key found for provider "google-antigravity". 
Auth store: ~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json

All Google providers show this error despite:

• Plugins enabled in config (google-antigravity-auth, google-gemini-cli-auth)
• Config reload triggered

2. Extreme LLM Request Timeouts

2026-02-02T23:57:31.197Z [diagnostic] lane task error: durationMs=724391 
error="FailoverError: LLM request timed out."

2026-02-03T00:47:42.218Z [diagnostic] lane task error: durationMs=1001984 
error="FailoverError: LLM request timed out."

2026-02-03T01:11:09.197Z [diagnostic] lane task error: durationMs=1406944 
error="FailoverError: LLM request timed out."

Timeout durations:

• 724s (12 minutes)
• 1001s (16.7 minutes)
• 1406s (23.4 minutes)

This suggests requests are hanging rather than failing fast.

3. Google OAuth Cookie Error

Permita que o Google Planilhas acesse os cookies necessários
Não é possível acessar sua Conta do Google
Não é possível acessar o conteúdo no momento. Faça login na sua Conta do Google ou permita o acesso a cookies para continuar.

This appears in logs, suggesting OAuth flow is attempting browser-based auth but hitting cookie restrictions.

Configuration

openclaw.json

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "google-antigravity-auth": {
        "enabled": true
      },
      "google-gemini-cli-auth": {
        "enabled": true
      }
    }
  },
  "agents": {
    "defaults": {
      "model": {
        "fallbacks": [
          "google/gemini-3-pro-preview",
          "google/gemini-3-flash-preview",
          "google-antigravity/claude-opus-4-5-thinking",
          "google-antigravity/claude-sonnet-4-5-thinking"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

auth-profiles.json

{
  "profiles": {
    "openai-codex:default": { ... },  // Works
    "anthropic:default": { ... }      // Has issues (see #9095)
    // No Google profiles!
  }
}

Root Causes

1. Google Provider Authentication Not Completing

Plugins are enabled but authentication never completes:

• No Google profiles in auth-profiles.json
• openclaw configure doesn't seem to set up Google auth
• OAuth flow may require browser interaction (cookie error suggests this)

2. No Timeout Configuration

Request timeouts exceed 20 minutes before failing:

• Should fail fast (30-120s) instead of hanging
• No configurable timeout for LLM requests
• Blocks entire failover chain

3. Cookie-Based OAuth Incompatible with Headless

Google OAuth appears to require browser cookies:

• OpenClaw runs headless (LaunchAgent/daemon)
• Can't complete browser-based OAuth flows
• Needs API key or service account auth instead

Impact

Severity: High

When primary model (OpenAI Codex) fails:

1. Tries Anthropic models → fails (issue [Bug] Anthropic OAuth authentication fails with HTTP 401 invalid bearer token #9095)
2. Tries Google models → hangs for 20+ minutes
3. Eventually fails with "All models failed"
4. Total service outage

Expected Behavior

1. Fast Failure: Timeout after 30-120s, not 1400s
2. Clear Auth Setup: openclaw configure should guide Google auth
3. Service Accounts: Support Google service account JSON for headless auth
4. Fallback: Skip unconfigured providers instead of hanging

Suggested Fixes

Short-term

1. Add configurable request timeout (default 120s)
2. Skip providers with no auth profile (don't attempt)
3. Add warning on startup: "Google providers configured but not authenticated"

Long-term

1. Implement Google service account auth (JSON key file)
2. Add Google OAuth device flow (no browser needed)
3. Better fallback chain management (skip known-broken providers)

Reproduction

1. Configure OpenClaw with Google providers in fallback chain
2. Don't configure Google auth
3. Trigger failover (disable OpenAI Codex)
4. Observe 20+ minute hang before failure

Environment

• OpenClaw: 2026.2.2-3
• OS: macOS
• Google plugins: google-antigravity-auth, google-gemini-cli-auth (enabled)
• Auth profiles: Only OpenAI Codex configured
