After upgrading from 2026.5.7 to 2026.5.12 openclaw loses its connection to OpenAI codex using open auth. I hooked up the api for claude but after spending the day trying to troubleshoot and almost $100 in credits :(, I was unable to solve the problem. I received the same problem with going to the latest beta version. I am on VPS and had to restore back a week to 5.7. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am not overly technical.
