Improvements & Fixes

Doctor/OpenAI Codex: revert the 2026.5.5 `doctor –fix` repair that rewrote valid `openai-codex/*` ChatGPT/Codex OAuth routes to `openai/*`, which could break OAuth-only GPT-5.5 setups or accidentally move users onto the OpenAI API-key route. If 2026.5.5 already changed your default model, run `openclaw models set openai-codex/gpt-5.5 && openclaw config validate` to switch the default agent back to the Codex OAuth PI route. Fixes #78407
Plugins/runtime fetch: drop third-party symbol metadata from plain request header dictionaries before passing them into native `fetch` or `Headers`, so SDK and guarded/proxy fetch paths do not reject otherwise valid plugin requests. Fixes #77846
Debug proxy: normalize captured fetch header dictionaries before replaying requests so symbol metadata from caller-owned header objects cannot make debug-proxy fetches fail
Web fetch: bound guarded dispatcher cleanup after request timeouts so timed-out fetches return tool errors instead of leaving Gateway tool lanes active
