Summary

  • add opt-in, bearer-protected OpenClaw routes for Honcho embeddings and Codex Responses;
  • resolve OAuth through OpenClaw's canonical, agent-scoped auth store instead of mounting credential stores into Honcho containers;
  • pin credential refresh to one configured OAuth profile and account, retrying once after HTTP 401 only;
  • validate models, fields, nested Responses items, function tools, body sizes, embedding batches, rate, concurrency, and timeouts before upstream access;
  • resolve the broker bearer only from authored env, file, or exec SecretRefs;
  • sanitize provider failures and forward only a bounded numeric Retry-After value.

This branch is rebased onto official openclaw-honcho 1.5.5
(ff2ac03c9661dd9370c3cb91baeeb5da208e6370).

Security and reliability properties

  • fixed upstream URLs; callers cannot choose an upstream host;
  • caller bearer authentication happens before OAuth resolution;
  • upstream OAuth material is never returned to the caller;
  • API-key/token profiles, external CLI profiles, alternate-profile fallback,
    and raw literal broker tokens fail closed;
  • authAgentId, authProfileId, and response models are explicitly pinned;
  • Responses requests force store=false;
  • only the relay's text-message, function-call, and function-result item shapes
    are accepted; file, URL, image, hosted-tool, arbitrary-item, undeclared-tool,
    and malformed nested shapes are rejected before OAuth resolution;
  • OAuth refresh stays pinned to the original profile/account;
  • bearer SecretRef resolution uses a five-second cache with shared in-flight
    reads while allowing token rotation without restarting OpenClaw;
  • configuration, agent-directory, auth-store, and provider failures are
    normalized to generic broker errors.

Compatibility note

OpenClaw documentation currently says Codex OAuth is not a supported general
OpenAI Platform credential. The embeddings route is therefore explicitly
opt-in and documented as an empirically working, unsupported compatibility
contract that may stop working upstream. This PR does not add or silently fall
back to a Platform API key.

Stock Honcho calls Chat Completions, so current deployments still need a small
compatibility adapter to translate those calls to Responses. That adapter is
intentionally outside this plugin PR. This PR does not claim adapter-free or
native Honcho OAuth support.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

This change adds an optional OpenClaw-owned Honcho authentication broker. It exposes protected embeddings and Responses routes, validates configuration and payloads, resolves agent-scoped Codex OAuth credentials, forwards approved requests, supports streaming and refresh, and registers routes only when enabled.

Changes

Honcho authentication broker

Layer / File(s) Summary
Broker configuration and schema
config.ts, openclaw.plugin.json, test/config.test.ts, package.json, README.md
Adds authBroker settings, explicit SecretRef validation, required agent and OAuth profile fields, schema and UI updates, OpenClaw version requirements, tests, and deployment documentation.
Payload validation and credential resolution
broker.ts, test/broker.test.ts
Adds route contracts, embeddings and Responses validation, input normalization, bearer-token resolution, and canonical agent-scoped OAuth credential handling.
Authenticated forwarding and route registration
broker.ts, index.ts, test/broker.test.ts
Adds authentication, rate and concurrency limits, request limits, upstream forwarding, streaming, timeout and abort handling, OAuth refresh, sanitized errors, and conditional route registration.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f7523

The PR adds bearer-protected OAuth-backed broker routes, but the current implementation may fail to load on the declared minimum OpenClaw version and can leave configured routes returning 401 for certain configuration mismatches; merge should wait for these compatibility and configuration paths to be corrected or explicitly accepted.

Forward retry-after on rate-limited upstream responses.

The allowlist copies x-ratelimit-* but not retry-after. OpenAI returns retry-after with 429 and with some 5xx responses. The status code passes through to the adapter, so the adapter sees a 429 without the backoff hint and must guess a delay.

Add retry-after to the allowlist.

Distinguish an unresolvable token from a token that is too short.

resolveConfiguredBrokerBearerToken returns undefined in three different cases: an unresolved SecretRef, an empty value, and a resolved value shorter than 32 characters. The handler maps every undefined to 401 at line 507. An operator whose SecretRef resolves to a 20-character secret sees only "Bearer authentication failed", and the configured token is never usable.

config.ts cannot catch this case, because it validates the length of literal tokens only. Add a warning log here for the resolved-but-too-short case. Do not log the value.

Avoid asserting the exact SDK error text.

"Payload too large" is produced by readJsonWebhookBodyOrReject in the OpenClaw SDK, not by this plugin. A wording change in the SDK breaks this test even though the broker behavior is unchanged. Assert the 413 status code and use a substring or regular expression for the body.

enabled: true without bearerToken passes schema validation. parseAuthBrokerConfig then throws at load time unless HONCHO_AUTH_BROKER_TOKEN is set. A dependentRequired clause would surface the requirement in the configuration UI before load.

Note that the environment fallback means the schema cannot make bearerToken unconditionally required, so keep this optional if the loader error is considered sufficient.

Align the token resolution rule with broker.ts.

Two code paths now resolve the same setting with different rules.

  • Here, line 105 uses raw.bearerToken ?? process.env.HONCHO_AUTH_BROKER_TOKEN. A null or absent value falls back to the environment variable.
  • In broker.ts lines 442-446, resolveConfiguredBrokerBearerToken uses Object.hasOwn(authBroker, "bearerToken"). A present-but-null bearerToken blocks the environment fallback.

With authBroker: { enabled: true, bearerToken: null } and HONCHO_AUTH_BROker_TOKEN set, parsing succeeds and the route registers, but the runtime resolver returns undefined. Every broker request then returns 401. The manifest schema currently rejects null, so this is a latent drift rather than an active defect.

Extract one shared helper that both the parser and the runtime resolver call, so the enable-time gate and the request-time gate cannot diverge. The accepted SecretRef sources also differ between the two paths for the same reason.

Additional isolated integration evidence on OpenClaw 2026.8.1 (c9e37d9): candidate v3 installed and loaded in a fresh state directory; the file-backed SecretRef configuration validated without warnings; an invalid broker bearer returned 401; the configured bearer plus the canonical Codex OAuth profile produced a 200 embedding response with one 1536-dimensional text-embedding-3-small vector; and the streaming Responses route returned 200 with the expected marker. The downstream combined plugin branch also passes 104/104 tests, while this PR branch passes 87/87. No Platform API key or local embedding provider was configured. The embeddings compatibility caveat in the PR remains applicable.

Updated the branch against current main and added the live deployment fixes.

Key hardening:

  • authAgentId and authProfileId are required.
  • The broker loads the pinned agent store with external CLI profiles removed, passes that exact store into credential resolution, and requires the exact pinned OpenAI OAuth profile on return. A same-ID external CLI credential therefore cannot replace the stored credential.
  • API-key/token profiles, alternate-profile fallback, ambient broker-token fallback, and raw literal broker tokens fail closed. The broker bearer must originate from an explicit env/file/exec SecretRef.
  • Honcho/OpenAI Python sends encoding_format: base64 by default when the caller omits it. The broker now accepts omitted/float/base64 requests, canonicalizes the fixed upstream request to float, and returns numeric arrays.

Validation:

  • Public branch: 102/102 tests passed, TypeScript check/build passed, built imports passed, package dry-run passed, and diff/secret scans passed.
  • A same-ID external-CLI collision regression test verifies that only the stored OAuth token can reach the broker.
  • Live isolated deployment on OpenClaw 2026.8.1: broker health reports codex-oauth; a base64-form embedding request returned one 1,536-dimensional numeric vector; a chat-completions canary returned the exact expected marker. Queue pending counts remain zero and this update introduced no new queue errors.

No Platform API key, local embedding provider, external CLI auth, alternate OAuth profile, ambient credential fallback, or credential-store mount is used.

Cache bearer-token resolution across requests

resolveConfiguredBrokerBearerToken() invokes resolveConfiguredSecretInputString() for every request with a bearer token. An exec SecretRef can therefore spawn a command for each request, including concurrent requests. Add short-TTL caching with re-resolution on expiry or token mismatch. The provider’s execution timeout does not prevent repeated process spawns.

Constrain authAgentId like authProfileId.

authProfileId has maxLength and a pattern. authAgentId has only minLength: 1. broker.ts passes authAgentId directly to resolveAgentDir at line 440, which resolves a filesystem directory. A value such as ../.. is accepted by the schema and by parseAuthBrokerConfig in config.ts. The value is operator-authored, so this is hardening rather than an exploitable path, but the asymmetry is easy to remove.

           "authAgentId": {
             "type": "string",

Cover the two remaining fail-closed branches of resolveConfiguredBrokerBearerToken.

brokerBearerResolverHarness hardcodes resolveConfiguredSecretInputString to return { value: BROKER_TOKEN } at line 184. Two authentication guards in broker.ts are therefore never exercised:

  • Line 507: resolved.unresolvedRefReason is set, so the reference did not resolve.
  • Line 509: the resolved token is shorter than 32 characters after trimming.

Both guards gate broker authentication. If either is removed, an unresolved reference or a weak secret authenticates every request, and the existing tests still pass.

Add a test for a pinned profile whose type is not oauth.

broker.ts line 447 rejects a stored profile when storedProfile?.type !== "oauth", and README.md line 193 advertises that the broker "rejects API-key/token profile types". No test covers that branch. The canonicalResolverHarness([]) case at line 250 exercises the storedProfile === undefined path instead, which is a different condition.

Move the store lookup inside the try so all failures become BrokerCredentialUnavailableError.

currentConfig, resolveAgentDir, loadAuthProfileStoreWithoutExternalProfiles, and the store.profiles[profileId] dereference all run outside the try at line 453. Each can throw. resolveAgentDir and loadAuthProfileStoreWithoutExternalProfiles touch the filesystem, so a missing agent directory, an unreadable auth store, or a malformed store surfaces a raw error instead of BrokerCredentialUnavailableError. A store object without a profiles key raises a TypeError at line 445.

The handler at line 616 currently catches every error and does not log the message, so nothing leaks today. However, this function is exported, and Node filesystem errors carry absolute paths such as the agent auth-store path. Any future caller or any change that logs the caught error turns this into path disclosure and an unexpected error type.

Hardcoded plugin entry key creates a silent 401 failure mode.

Line 482 looks up cfg.plugins?.entries?.["openclaw-honcho"], and BROKER_TOKEN_CONFIG_PATH at line 52 repeats the same identifier in a separate string literal. If the installed entry key differs from "openclaw-honcho" — a fork, a local-path install, or a rename — pluginEntry is undefined, this function returns undefined, and the handler answers 401 at line 560 for every request. The operator gets no signal that the cause is a config-key mismatch rather than a wrong token.

Derive the entry key from the plugin API instead of hardcoding it, or log a warning through api.logger when the broker is enabled in the parsed config but absent from the authored snapshot. Keep the fail-closed return either way.

Consider reporting out-of-range numeric values instead of replacing them.

positiveIntegerInRange returns the default when maxRequestBytes or timeoutMs is present but out of range or non-integer. Every other invalid authBroker field throws. An operator who authors maxRequestBytes: 100 therefore runs with a 2 MiB limit and no signal. The manifest schema rejects such values for authored config, so this only matters for config paths that skip schema validation.

This test does not exercise the same-ID external CLI collision.

canonicalResolverHarness() always stores a profile named openai:codex, so resolveApiKeyForProvider returns profile.access and EXTERNAL_CLI_TOKEN is unreachable. The assertions pass without testing the control the test name describes.

To exercise the collision, make the mock return a different token for the same profile ID than the store holds, and assert the resolver rejects the mismatch. resolveCanonicalOpenAICodexCredential compares only auth.profileId and auth.mode, not the token value, so this test should show the intended behavior for that case.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

A wrong presented token invalidates the shared bearer cache.

The cache hit requires safeEqualSecret(cachedToken, presentedToken). Any request with an incorrect bearer token misses the cache. Line 688 then clears cachedToken before resolving. Two consequences follow:

  • Each incorrect-token request triggers a fresh SecretRef resolution. For source: "exec", that runs the configured command again.
  • The cleared cache also removes the fast path for the next valid request.

The route rate limiter bounds the request rate, so the impact is limited to extra secret resolutions rather than an outage. Consider treating a mismatch as "revalidate without discarding the current value", and clear the cache only when resolution returns a different token or fails.

♻️ Proposed adjustment
     if (!inFlight) {
-      // A cache miss can mean expiry, configuration disablement, or rotation.
-      // Invalidate before resolving so a failed refresh never revives stale
-      // material for another request.
-      cachedToken = undefined;
-      cacheExpiresAt = 0;
       const pending = resolveConfiguredBrokerBearerToken(pluginId, dependencies);

Then clear the cache after resolution when resolved is falsy:

     const resolved = await inFlight;
     if (resolved) {
       cachedToken = resolved;
       cacheExpiresAt = now() + cacheTtlMs;
+    } else {
+      cachedToken = undefined;
+      cacheExpiresAt = 0;

OpenClaw 2026.7.1 plugin-sdk agent-runtime loadAuthProfileStoreWithoutExternalProfiles runtime-config-snapshot getRuntimeConfigSourceSnapshot

💡 Result:

In OpenClaw v2026.7.1, loadAuthProfileStoreWithoutExternalProfiles and getRuntimeConfigSourceSnapshot are specific internal-facing functions exported within the OpenClaw Plugin SDK [1][2][3]. loadAuthProfileStoreWithoutExternalProfiles This function is exported via the openclaw/plugin-sdk/agent-runtime subpath [2][4]. It is used to load an authentication profile store from a specified agent directory while explicitly excluding external profiles [5][6]. This is typically employed during agent migration or initialization when only local/internal credentials should be retrieved, avoiding reliance on external CLI or system-wide auth contexts [5][6]. getRuntimeConfigSourceSnapshot This function is exported via the openclaw/plugin-sdk/runtime-config-snapshot subpath (often accessed via config-runtime wrappers) [3][7][8]. It returns the source configuration snapshot currently held by the runtime [7]. This snapshot represents the base configuration state (distinct from the active, potentially mutated runtime configuration) [7][9], and it is used by internal components to maintain consistency when selecting applicable configuration parameters [7][8]. Plugin SDK Context OpenClaw 2026.7.1 emphasizes a move toward narrow, capability-oriented SDK subpaths [10][11]. Users and plugin authors are advised to avoid broad barrel imports and instead route imports through specific subpaths like plugin-sdk/agent-runtime and plugin-sdk/runtime-config-snapshot to ensure compatibility with future updates and maintain architectural boundaries [10][11][3].

OpenClaw v2026.7.1 plugin-sdk secret-input-runtime resolveConfiguredSecretInputString isSecretRef resolveAgentDir

💡 Result:

In OpenClaw v2026.7.1, these functions are part of the plugin SDK's infrastructure for handling configuration secrets [1][2][3]. 1. resolveConfiguredSecretInputString: This is an asynchronous utility function used to resolve a configured secret value (often a SecretRef) into its actual string value [4]. It takes an object containing the OpenClaw configuration, process environment, the secret value to resolve, and a path for diagnostic reporting [4]. It facilitates the secure loading of secrets from environment variables, files, or external execution commands [4][5]. It is exported by the plugin SDK's configuration runtime [3]. 2. isSecretRef: This is a type-guard function used to verify whether a given value conforms to the canonical SecretRef object structure [6]. It returns true if the input object contains exactly three properties—source, provider, and id—and validates that source is one of the supported types (env, file, or exec) and that provider and id are non-empty strings [6]. 3. resolveAgentDir: While not a direct member of the secret-input-runtime, logic for resolving agent paths and directories is often managed within the agent runtime configuration modules (e.g., src/agents/agent-runtime-config.ts) [7]. It is used to resolve filesystem paths associated with agents within the OpenClaw environment, ensuring consistency across plugin and core operations [2][7]. The plugin SDK architecture emphasizes narrow, focused imports [8]. New plugins should import these utilities from the specific subpaths (e.g., plugin-sdk/config-runtime or plugin-sdk/secret-input-runtime) rather than broad barrels [9][8][10].

  • an unsupported nested Responses text.format option returned HTTP 400 before upstream use;
  • Codex-OAuth embeddings returned HTTP 200 with one 1,536-dimensional text-embedding-3-small vector;
  • the deployment's required Chat Completions → Responses adapter returned the exact non-streaming Terra canary marker;
  • its streaming path reconstructed the exact Terra marker and emitted terminal [DONE];
  • Gateway health stayed OK, Discord stayed connected, and the Honcho deriver restarted cleanly.

This verifies the PR's supported deployment shape. The external compatibility adapter remains a documented prerequisite and is not part of this PR.
