If you mean the ChatGPT subscription / Codex OAuth route, the model path is:

openai-codex/gpt-5.4

Use this, not openai/gpt-5.4.

Quick setup:

openclaw models auth login --provider openai-codex
openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary openai-codex/gpt-5.4
openclaw models list --provider openai-codex

If you mean the config key path, it is:

agents.defaults.model.primary

#

If you mean the stored auth file path, it is usually:

~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json

And if OpenClaw is reusing an existing Codex CLI login, that source file is:

~/.codex/auth.json

Docs:

If it doesn’t show up, paste:

openclaw --version

The ChatGPT subscription / Codex OAuth model path is:

openai-codex/gpt-5.4

So the setup is:

openclaw onboard --auth-choice openai-codex

If you want Codex as the default after that:

openclaw config set agents.defaults.model.primary openai-codex/gpt-5.4

If you want to keep your current default and just add Codex, that’s fine too. Just auth it, then switch per session with:

#

/model openai-codex/gpt-5.4

Your auth is stored in:

~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/agent/auth-profiles.json

Usually that means:

~/.openclaw/agents/main/agent/auth-profiles.json

For the config error in /Users/miya/.openclaw/openclaw.json, these keys are outdated in 2026.4.20:

agents.defaults.approvals → move approvals to the top level
agents.list[].workdir → rename to workspace
agents.list[].files → remove it, it is not a valid agent key anymore
