openclaw: setup.ts BYOK wizard writes wrong configPatch (old URL-redirect approach) #9

@openclaw-bitrouterai

Problem

The BYOK setup wizard in src/setup.ts writes a configPatch that uses the old URL-redirect approach:

{
  "models": {
    "providers": {
      "<upstreamProvider>": {
        "baseUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1"
      }
    }
  }
}

This is incorrect. The correct design (as manually patched in openclaw.json) is to add a new bitrouter provider entry:

{
  "models": {
    "providers": {
      "bitrouter": {
        "baseUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8787/v1",
        "api": "openai-completions",
        "models": []
      }
    }
  }
}

Impact

Running the BYOK wizard on a fresh install — or re-running it — will overwrite openclaw.json with the wrong config, breaking routing. The before_model_resolve hook overrides the provider to "bitrouter", which must exist in openclaw.json's models.providers. Without api: "openai-completions", OpenClaw falls back to openai-responses and hits /v1/responses — a path BitRouter does not serve.

Fix Required

Update src/setup.ts writePatch() / buildConfigPatch() to write:

  • models.providers.bitrouter.baseUrl = http://127.0.0.1:<port>/v1
  • models.providers.bitrouter.api = "openai-completions"
  • models.providers.bitrouter.models = []

And add an auth profile entry for bitrouter:default with the plugin JWT.
