@@ -100,6 +100,7 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Gateway/websocket pairing bypass for disabled auth: skip device-pairing enforcement when `gateway.auth.mode=none` so Control UI connections behind reverse proxies no longer get stuck on `pairing required` (code 1008) despite auth being explicitly disabled. (#42931)
 - Auth/login lockout recovery: clear stale `auth_permanent` and `billing` disabled state for all profiles matching the target provider when `openclaw models auth login` is invoked, so users locked out by expired or revoked OAuth tokens can recover by re-authenticating instead of waiting for the cooldown timer to expire. (#43057)
 - Auto-reply/context-engine compaction: persist the exact embedded-run metadata compaction count for main and followup runner session accounting, so metadata-only auto-compactions no longer undercount multi-compaction runs. (#42629) thanks @uf-hy.
+- Auth/Codex CLI reuse: sync reused Codex CLI credentials into the supported `openai-codex:default` OAuth profile instead of reviving the deprecated `openai-codex:codex-cli` slot, so doctor cleanup no longer loops. (#45353) thanks @Gugu-sugar.
