OAuth refresh token invalidated after gateway restart — should auto-recover

증상

When the OpenClaw gateway restarts (e.g., during openclaw update run or config.patch), the OpenAI Codex OAuth refresh token can become invalidated. The restart interrupts an in-flight token refresh, consuming the single-use refresh token without storing the new one. Subsequent requests fail with:

원인

OpenClaw gateway, skill, or agent configuration issue — root cause confirmed in the openclaw/openclaw issue tracker.

해결법

Manual re-auth after every gateway restart that coincides with a token refresh
Running a “keep-alive” cron job before other crons to force a clean refresh in isolation
Setting agents.defaults.model.fallbacks to prevent expensive primary model burn on auth failures
