Hey,

Could we connect OpenClaw to Business GH Copilot licence ?

If I try I got

HTTP 400: bad request: missing Editor-Version header for IDE auth z api.business.githubcopilot.com.

Each time I ask question.

Before that I had it on Anthrophy API key and was working fine m

Let me verify this against the docs/code first.

#

Yep, GitHub Copilot Business should work.

That exact missing Editor-Version error was a real OpenClaw bug, not a GitHub Business limitation. It was fixed in OpenClaw 2026.4.5:

Providers/GitHub Copilot: send IDE identity headers ... so IDE-authenticated Copilot runs stop failing with missing Editor-Version

So I’d check this first:

openclaw --version

If you’re older than 2026.4.5, update, then restart the gateway:

openclaw gateway restart

#

If you’re already on a newer version, please paste these:

openclaw --version
openclaw status
openclaw models status

Also, if you’re using the built-in Copilot provider, the intended login flow is:

openclaw models auth login-github-copilot

Docs:

#

https://docs.openclaw.ai/install/updating

Most likely this is just an outdated OpenClaw build or a stale gateway process still running the old code.

How to update ?

mystic marshBOT Apr 19, 2026, 2:22 PM

#

Easiest path:

openclaw update

That should detect your install type, update OpenClaw, run doctor, and restart the gateway.

Then verify:

openclaw --version

You want 2026.4.5 or newer for this Copilot fix.

If you want to be extra safe after updating:

#

openclaw doctor
openclaw gateway restart

If openclaw update doesn’t work, re-run the installer:

curl -fsSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash

Docs:

If you paste the output of openclaw --version after updating, I can sanity-check it.

There is no version 2026.4.5

Latest I see is 2026.3.28

mystic marshBOT Apr 19, 2026, 4:40 PM

#

Let me check the published versions so I don’t steer you wrong.

#

There is, I just checked the published package versions. Latest stable is 2026.4.15 right now, and 2026.4.5 is also published.

So if you only see 2026.3.28, I’d force the update explicitly:

openclaw update --tag 2026.4.15

Then verify + restart:

openclaw --version
openclaw doctor
openclaw gateway restart

If that still doesn’t move, install the exact version directly:

#

pnpm add -g openclaw@2026.4.15
openclaw --version
openclaw doctor
openclaw gateway restart

If you want, paste these and I’ll tell you what’s off:

openclaw update status
openclaw --version

Docs:

#

If after updating you’re on 2026.4.5+ and still getting that Copilot header error, then something else is stale, but first I’d make sure the actual installed CLI + gateway are really past 2026.4.5.

Version 2026.4.15, Copilot Business plan. Auth succeeds (token acquired, gpt-4o visible), but API calls still fail: rawError=400 bad request: missing Editor-Version header for IDE auth. The fix in 2026.4.15 does not work for Business accounts.

upper zephyr Apr 19, 2026, 9:53 PM

#

Any idea ?

mystic marshBOT Apr 19, 2026, 9:54 PM

#

Yeah, I think this is a real remaining bug, not you misconfiguring it.

Given:

you’re on 2026.4.15
auth succeeds
models are discovered
actual inference still fails on Business with missing Editor-Version header

my best guess is:

the built-in github-copilot path fixed some request flows, but
at least one runtime path still is not attaching the Copilot IDE headers correctly for Business/Enterprise accounts.

I found related bugs already:

inference/header bug: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/58056
another remaining Copilot header bug in compaction: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues/66068

#

So I’d treat this as still broken for Business accounts in the built-in provider.

What I’d do now

If you need it working today:

use your Anthropic/OpenAI key again, or
try the Copilot Proxy route instead of the built-in github-copilot provider: https://docs.openclaw.ai/providers/github-copilot

If you want it fixed properly:

please file a GitHub issue here: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/issues

Include:

openclaw --version
openclaw status --all
openclaw gateway status
