fix(openclaw): stop injecting legacy auth-profiles.json beside SQLite stores - #288
Conversation
… stores The plugin wrote a placeholder auth-profiles.json into every agent directory, including the shared auth-owner (main). Since OpenClaw 2026.8.1 that leftover legacy file is a failed-closed migration trigger: when main's store is empty (its credentials live in shared SQLite state), auth profile convergence fails, the prepared model runtime is never published, and dispatch goes down for the whole agent fleet. The provider's real auth comes from the x402 proxy and the apiKey injectModelsConfig writes into openclaw.json, so the legacy JSON write is at best redundant — and the placeholder is now removed where the SQLite store is authoritative. The legacy bootstrap is kept only for installs with no SQLite store at all.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change suppresses legacy authentication bootstrap whenever a path exists at the SQLite filename; if that path is not a usable database, authentication setup can be skipped and message dispatch can fail. This bounded correctness risk remains unresolved and should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Node.js 22 fs.existsSync returns true for directories official documentation
💡 Result:
Yes, in Node.js 22, the fs.existsSync(path) method returns true if the specified path exists, regardless of whether that path points to a file or a directory [1]. Official Node.js documentation defines fs.existsSync as a synchronous method that returns true if the path exists, and false otherwise [1]. Because the method checks for the existence of the path in the file system, it does not distinguish between files and directories in its return value; if the path is found, it evaluates to true. Note that while fs.existsSync is not deprecated, it is often recommended to avoid checking for file existence before performing operations (like reading or writing) to prevent race conditions. Instead, you should perform the desired operation directly and handle any errors that occur if the file is inaccessible [2][3].

Require a regular SQLite database file before skipping bootstrap.
When openclaw-agent.sqlite is a directory, existsSync(sqlitePath) is true, so injectAuthProfile removes the placeholder and skips legacy JSON bootstrap. Use statSync(sqlitePath).isFile() and add a Vitest regression test for this state.

Ships @0xCheetah1's fix for the OpenClaw 2026.8.1 auth migration failure, plus the empirical result that retires injectAuthProfile's original rationale. Measured on 2026.5.2 before merging (openclaw agent --agent main --json, three states: placeholder present / entry removed / auth-profiles.json deleted): all three dispatched with real token usage and zero errors. The placeholder was never load-bearing; the apiKey in openclaw.json plus the provider's auth:[] declaration carry it. Note authMode reports "auth-profile" even with the file deleted, so it is not evidence a profile is in use. 797 tests pass, typecheck + lint clean, dist smoke check passes.

Summary
injectAuthProfile()writes a placeholderagent/auth-profiles.jsoninto every agent directory — including the shared auth-owner (main). On OpenClaw 2026.8.1 the SQLite auth store is authoritative, and a leftover legacy JSON beside an empty store (main's store is legitimately empty afterdoctor --fixrelocates shared credentials) fails auth migration closed, which bricks message dispatch for the whole agent fleet.This PR makes the write SQLite-aware:
openclaw-agent.sqliteexists, the legacy JSON is never written, and the plugin removes its own previously-injected placeholder (only the exactblockrun:defaultplaceholder — real credential files are never touched).main) is never written into at all.The provider's real auth comes from the x402 proxy and the
apiKeythatinjectModelsConfigwrites intoopenclaw.json, so nothing is lost.Reproduction & verification (OpenClaw 2026.8.1)
