This watchdog was built for an OpenClaw instance where `openai-codex/gpt-5.4` sometimes produced text-only \"work happened\" replies. With GPT-5.5 behavior improving, this repo is likely to become deprecated if the watchdog is no longer needed.\n\nA small OpenClaw plugin that blocks Codex narrative-loop replies when a run looks action-oriented but the model makes zero tool calls.\n\n## What it does\n\nIf a Codex run:\n\n- uses `openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex` or `openai-codex/gpt-5.4`\n- looks like the user asked for an action\n- makes zero tool calls\n- returns text that sounds like fake progress or completion\n\nthen the plugin blocks that reply and replaces it with an honest watchdog message.\n\n## Why\n\nSometimes Codex returns text like \"I'll do that\" or \"done\" without actually using tools or performing work. This plugin is a first-pass guardrail against that failure mode.\n\nGPT-5.5 may have improved this behavior enough that the guardrail can be removed. For now, keep this plugin enabled only where monitoring shows the older failure mode still matters.\n\n## Install\n\nAdd the plugin path to your OpenClaw config, for example:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"plugins\": {\n    \"load\": {\n      \"paths\": [\n        \"/path/to/openclaw-codex-watchdog\"\n      ]\n    },\n    \"entries\": {\n      \"openclaw-codex-watchdog\": {\n        \"enabled\": true\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nIf you use a restrictive `plugins.allow` list, include `discord` and any other bundled plugins you still want, plus this plugin if needed by your setup.\n\n## Files\n\n- `openclaw.plugin.json` - plugin manifest\n- `dist/index.js` - plugin entry\n\n## Status\n\nMonitoring mode; likely to be deprecated if GPT-5.5 continues to reliably execute action-oriented requests with tool calls.\n\nThis is an early, practical first pass. It is intentionally simple and focused on blocking obviously fake \"work happened\" replies for affected older Codex model routes.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FThisIsJeron%2Fopenclaw-codex-watchdog","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FThisIsJeron%2Fopenclaw-codex-watchdog","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FThisIsJeron%2Fopenclaw-codex-watchdog/lists"}
