OpenClaw 2026.5.6 is a fast recovery release for Codex OAuth routing
OpenClaw 2026.5.6 quickly reverts the 2026.5.5 doctor repair that could rewrite valid openai-codex ChatGPT/Codex OAuth routes into openai API-key routes. It also cleans up plugin/runtime fetch headers, debug-proxy replay headers, and web-fetch timeout cleanup so tool lanes do not stay active after timed-out requests.

This is small but operationally important: model-route repair logic can silently move an agent onto the wrong auth path, while hanging web-fetch lanes and plugin request failures directly affect day-to-day automation reliability.
- Official GitHub release v2026.5.6 published 2026-05-06 17:51 UTC
- Release notes say the doctor --fix Codex route rewrite from 2026.5.5 was reverted and point to recovery docs
- Fixes cite #78407, #77846, and #78439 plus debug-proxy header normalization
- Mainly relevant to operators using Codex OAuth, plugin SDK fetch paths, debug proxy, or web fetch under timeouts
- Because it follows a large 2026.5.5 release quickly, upgrade with a focused regression checklist rather than assuming all 2026.5.5 risk is gone
