OpenClaw 2026.5.7, macOS, using anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6. API key works (tested via curl). Config valid. But all Anthropic models return "incomplete terminal response" and tokens show as "?". Gateway logs show: "empty response retries exhausted".

That log signature matches a known 2026.5.7 embedded-agent regression, not an Anthropic key/config failure. The giveaway is: curl/lean model calls can work, but the agent runtime ends with stopReason=stop payloads=0 → empty response retries exhausted → incomplete terminal response. The ? token display is just a symptom of OpenClaw not getting a usable terminal usage/result.

Quick confirm:

openclaw infer model run --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 --prompt "Reply exactly: smoke-ok"
openclaw agent --agent main --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 --message "Reply exactly: smoke-ok"

If the first works and the second fails, you’re on the known bad path.

Best workaround: roll back from 2026.5.7 and restart the gateway. For a global install, try:

cp ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json.2026.5.7-backup
openclaw update --tag 2026.5.6 --yes
openclaw doctor
openclaw gateway restart

If 2026.5.6 still bites, the reported known-good fallback was 2026.5.3-1.
