First thing: what does openclaw --version show? Version mismatch can make model behavior weird.

Your config shape is the main issue: OpenClaw does not use a top-level models: { planner, coder, reasoning... } role map like that. Model selection is basically:

• default: agents.defaults.model.primary
• fallbacks: agents.defaults.model.fallbacks
• available/allowed models: agents.defaults.models when you set an allowlist

For OpenCode Go, the easiest path is usually:

openclaw onboard --auth-choice opencode-go
openclaw models list --provider opencode-go
openclaw models set opencode-go/<model-id>
openclaw models status

For a temporary switch in a chat/session, use:

/model

or:

/model opencode-go/<model-id>

If you want a fallback chain for rate limits, use the CLI instead of overwriting config by hand:

openclaw models set opencode-go/<primary-model-id>

[remote latch]

openclaw models fallbacks add opencode-go/<fallback-model-id>
openclaw models fallbacks add opencode-go/<another-fallback-model-id>
openclaw models status

If you do hand-edit, the shape is more like:

{
  agents: {
    defaults: {
      model: {
        primary: "opencode-go/<primary-model-id>",
        fallbacks: [
          "opencode-go/<fallback-model-id>"

[remote latch]

        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Use the exact model ids from openclaw models list --provider opencode-go; don’t use display names like “Qwen3.6 Plus” unless the CLI shows that exact id.
