That error usually means the session/config is explicitly asking for the codex agent harness, but the bundled Codex plugin did not register. I checked the current docs: the Codex harness is plugin-owned, so if plugins.allow is restrictive and omits codex, or the plugin entry is disabled, you can get exactly this kind of failure.

First, please confirm the actual binary version:

openclaw --version

Then try this order:

openclaw doctor
openclaw config get plugins.allow --json
openclaw config get plugins.entries.codex --json

If doctor reports Codex route/session repair, run:

silent tinselBOT
# reef fable Currently having this issue after update : Agent failed before reply: Requeste...
openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw gateway restart

If plugins.entries.codex is missing/disabled, enable it:

openclaw config set plugins.entries.codex.enabled true --strict-json
openclaw gateway restart

If plugins.allow is set, make sure codex is included in that existing list. Don’t replace the whole list unless you mean to; a restrictive allowlist blocks bundled plugins too.

After the restart, start a fresh chat/session with /new or /reset, because stale session runtime pins can survive config changes.

No matter what I type it keep giving that error

If it happens for everything, the broken state is probably being hit before your message content matters. Run these from your terminal, not in the chat/TUI:

openclaw --version
openclaw plugins doctor
openclaw plugins list | grep -i codex
openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw gateway restart

Then start a fresh session:

/new

If plugins list | grep -i codex shows nothing, or plugins doctor says Codex is blocked, that’s the smoking gun. In that case enable it and restart:

silent tinselBOT
# reef fable No matter what I type it keep giving that error
openclaw plugins enable codex
openclaw gateway restart

If it still fails after that, paste the output of these three:

openclaw --version
openclaw plugins doctor
openclaw config get plugins.allow --json

The key thing: keep this fix loop in the shell until the harness registers. Typing different prompts won’t help while the session is pinned to an unavailable codex harness.

Got it. If Telegram responses take forever and never arrive, split it into two checks: “is Telegram receiving/sending?” vs “is the agent run stuck before delivery?”

Run this from the Gateway machine while sending one Telegram test message:

openclaw --version
openclaw status --all
openclaw channels status --probe
openclaw channels logs --channel telegram
openclaw logs --follow

What to look for:

  • If channels status --probe shows Telegram disconnected/auth errors, it’s channel transport/token/network.
  • If logs show the Telegram message arrives but then the run hits Requested agent harness "codex" is not registered, Telegram is probably fine; the agent runtime is still broken from the Codex harness issue.
  • If the run starts but just sits forever, check provider/auth with:

openclaw models status
openclaw doctor

Given the earlier Codex error, I’d still do this once from shell:

openclaw plugins doctor
openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw gateway restart

Then send /new in Telegram and try one short test message. If it still hangs, paste the output of openclaw channels status --probe plus the few log lines around the Telegram test message. Don’t paste tokens.
