FIX for slug-generator durationMs=24 error="FailoverError: No API key found for provider "anthropic"

Issue: /new Command Works But Throws Authentication Errors
Error Message
[diagnostic] lane task error: lane=session:temp:slug-generator durationMs=24 error="FailoverError: No API key found for provider "anthropic".
Root Cause
The session-memory hook is hardcoded to use claude-opus-4-5 for generating intelligent session names when you run /new. If you only have API keys for other providers (like MiniMax, OpenAI, etc.) and don't have an Anthropic API key configured, the slug generation fails.
Solution: Disable the Session-Memory Hook
The /new command works fine without the session-memory hook - you just won't get AI-generated session names in your memory folder.
bash# Disable the session-memory hook
clawdbot hooks disable session-memory

Restart the gateway

clawdbot gateway restart
After this, the /new command will work without errors. Your sessions will still be saved, just with timestamp-based filenames instead of descriptive names.
Alternative Solution: Add Anthropic API Key
If you want to keep the intelligent session naming feature:

Get an Anthropic API key from https://console.anthropic.com/ (includes $5 free credits)
Add it to your auth file:

bash# Add authentication for your agent
clawdbot agents add coding-agent

(Follow the prompts to enter your Anthropic API key)

OR manually edit the auth file

nano ~/.clawdbot/agents/coding-agent/agent/auth-profiles.json
Add the Anthropic provider to your existing auth-profiles.json:
json{
"version": 1,
"profiles": {
"your-existing-provider:default": {
"type": "api_key",
"provider": "your-provider",
"key": "your-existing-key"
},
"anthropic:default": {
"type": "api_key",
"provider": "anthropic",
"key": "sk-ant-YOUR_ANTHROPIC_KEY_HERE"
}
},
"lastGood": {
"your-provider": "your-provider:default",
"anthropic": "anthropic:default"
}
}
Then restart the gateway:
bashclawdbot gateway restart
