## Day recap 2026-03-19
- What happened:
  - Spent the day diagnosing persistent OAuth token refresh failures for the `openai-codex` provider, confirming via `openclaw models list`, `openclaw plugins list`, `openclaw models auth`, and gateway `journalctl` logs that requests were consistently failing and falling back to `google-gemini-cli`.
  - Inspected `/home/lagoon3/.openclaw/openclaw.json` and the `extensions/` directory multiple times to understand how Codex is wired (auth profile present as `openai-codex:default` with `mode: "oauth"`, but no standalone `openai-codex` plugin directory; Codex appears to be core/bundled while auth is handled via separate plugins like `google-gemini-cli-auth` / `google-antigravity-auth`).
  - Answered several follow-up questions in the main session about why morning stock reports were re-sent and why responses are currently coming from Gemini, tying the behavior back to Codex auth failures and resilience/failover behavior.
- Decisions / stable facts:
  - Confirmed that `openai-codex` is the canonical provider identifier used in both the models list and `auth.profiles` configuration, and that the correct re-auth command is `openclaw models auth login --provider openai-codex` run in an interactive TTY.
  - Established that, as of the end of the day, Codex OAuth refresh continues to fail; the gateway is still automatically routing requests to the Gemini fallback, and this is visible in logs as `FailoverError` plus occasional provider rate-limit messages.
- Next actions / blockers:
  - User still needs to run the Codex re-auth flow (`openclaw models auth login --provider openai-codex`) and complete the browser/OAuth step (or code copy) so that `openai-codex` can resume as the primary provider.
  - After re-auth, rerun log checks to confirm that `FailoverError` entries stop and that new `embedded run` events show `provider=openai-codex` instead of `google-gemini-cli`; if re-auth fails or reports `Unknown provider`, plan a deeper investigation into Codex provider registration and associated auth plugins.
