openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature] Add option to configure wizard to add provider models without changing primary model [1 participants]

TL;DR

Add an option to the openclaw configure or openclaw config wizard to prevent automatic selection of a new primary model when adding a provider.

Guidance

• Modify the wizard to include a --no-default-model flag or a "Skip" option to allow users to add new providers without changing the primary model.
• Alternatively, update the wizard to detect existing primary models and avoid auto-selecting new models as default.
• Consider adding a confirmation step before changing the primary model to ensure user intent.
• Review the current workaround and assess whether it can be improved or simplified.

Example

No explicit code example is provided due to the lack of specific implementation details in the issue.

Notes

The solution may require changes to the openclaw command-line tool and its underlying configuration logic. The exact implementation will depend on the tool's internal architecture and configuration management.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as manually running openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary <previous-model> after adding a new provider, until a permanent fix is implemented. This is because the current behavior is inconvenient and not intuitive, and a workaround can mitigate the issue until a more robust solution is available.
