Anyone else getting massive lag on OpenClaw + ChatGPT OAuth?

On 2026.4.29, every request is taking 20+ seconds before the model even responds. Trace logs show:

- model-resolution: 11s

- auth: 5s

- attempt-dispatch: 4s

Gateway logs show `codex model discovery failed; using fallback catalog` and `sendChatAction failed` on Telegram.

Curled the endpoints directly. api.openai.com and api.telegram.org both fast and clean. But chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex returns a Cloudflare challenge page asking for JS and cookies. Pretty sure that's what's eating the time on every request.

Re-authed fresh in incognito, refresh token is valid, no proxy, no VPN, no firewall apps. Tried adding skipCatalog and useFallbackCatalog under plugins.entries.openai-codex.config and the schema rejected both keys. Grepped the catalog source and there's no env var or config flag exposed to skip it.

Is anyone on a newer version where this got fixed? Or is there a version between when 5.5 launched and now where the catalog still works? Don't want to roll back to 2026.3.13 because I lose 5.5.

Mac, Node 22, OAuth via ChatGPT Plus subscription.

I've seen a lot of Catholics online arguing for and against the Iran war, but not many actually walking through the Catechism. So I did.

CCC 2309 gives four conditions for a just war, and the Church is clear that all four have to be met at the same time. Fail one, fail the whole thing. Aquinas added three threshold conditions on top of that: legitimate authority, just cause, right intention.

Here's how it breaks down for me.

1. Lasting, grave, and certain damage from the aggressor. Iran had not attacked the United States when Trump ordered the strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan on June 21, 2025. They had a nuclear program American and Israeli intelligence worried about. That's not the same category as inflicting grave and certain damage on the nation. Fails for me.

2. All other means exhausted. We pulled out of JCPOA in 2018. Talks with Iran were active in the weeks before the strikes. You can argue the deal was flawed. You can't argue diplomacy had been shown impractical when we were the ones who walked. Fails.

3. Serious prospects of success. Multiple arms control analysts say the strikes pushed Iran closer to weaponization, not farther. The inspection regime collapsed. Americans are dying in an escalating shooting war with no clear exit. If that's success, the word has lost its meaning. Fails.

4. Not producing graver evils. The catechism flags modern weapons as weighing heavily here. Region destabilized. Civilian casualties inside Iran. Strait of Hormuz disruptions. And Trump publicly floating wiping Iran off the map, which is a president talking about mass death against a country of 90 million people. The condition is not being taken seriously by the people running the war. Fails.

The magisterium has not been quiet about this either. Pope Leo XIV has spoken directly against the strikes. Cardinal Parolin, Cardinal McElroy, and Archbishop Broglio have all pushed back. The most prominent Catholic in the administration, JD Vance, is on the other side.

Genuinely curious what people here think. If you believe this war is just, which of the four conditions do you think it actually meets?
