fix: write api_key auth profiles for key providers (OpenClaw 2026.6.8 compat)

[KrasimirKralev]

Problem

On OpenClaw 2026.6.8, OpenRouter (and anthropic/openai/google) chats fail with:

[agent/embedded] embedded run agent end: ... provider=openrouter
  error=LLM request failed. rawError=401 Missing Authentication header

ClawBox writes these key-based providers' auth as type: "token" profiles, and OpenRouter's models.providers.openrouter.apiKey as the placeholder "openrouter-ref" (a reference the old gateway resolved from the profile). OpenClaw 2026.6.6 honored that; 2026.6.8 reworked auth resolution — it no longer turns a token-mode profile into an Authorization header, and it sends models.providers.*.apiKey verbatim. So "openrouter-ref" went out as the bearer → 401.

Fix

Write the same type: "api_key" shape the already-working providers (clawai/ollama/llamacpp) use, and inline OpenRouter's real key:

• auth-profiles.json else branch: type:"token"/token: → type:"api_key"/key:
• openclaw.json auth.profiles.<key> mode: … : token → subscription ? oauth : api_key (de-special-cases the per-provider guard)
• OpenRouter providerDef: apiKey:"openrouter-ref" → apiKey: <real key> (mirrors the clawai/deepseek providerDefs)

Covers all key-based providers, not just OpenRouter, since they all hit the same branch.

Verification

• End-to-end on device (Jetson, OpenClaw 2026.6.8): applied this exact config shape by hand → gateway reloaded, openrouter/anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5 loaded, 401 gone, key validates against OpenRouter /auth/key (200).
• Unit tests updated: anthropic profile now asserts api_key+key; OpenRouter test asserts the inlined real key (not openrouter-ref) + api_key profile.

Follow-up (not this PR)

configure/route.ts could extract a writeApiKeyProfile() helper to collapse the four now-identical api_key branches and migrate to openclaw onboard --auth-choice <provider>-api-key (the schema-robust canonical path the in-file comment already flags). Kept out of scope to keep this fix minimal.

Review limit reached

@KrasimirKralev, we couldn't start this review because you've reached your PR review rate limit.

More reviews will be available in 17 seconds. Learn how PR review limits work.

Your organization has used up its prepaid credits, and credit purchases are no longer available. Enable the review add-on in the billing tab to keep reviews running — you're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

⌛ How to resolve this issue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based credits.

🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan refill rate.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, the refill rate gradually slows as usage increases. The highest same-day bursts are limited more strictly.

Please see our Fair Usage Limits Policy for further information.
