HELP! Clawdbot OpenRouter/DeepSeek 401 No cookie auth credentials found

Really desperate for some help here I am getting to my whits end with this. Trying to get the BYOK working for OpenRouter/Deepseek as a model on my Clawd/Molt.

No matter what I seem to do, or how I seem to set it up, I see

401 No cookie auth credentials found

Below is a paste of my config with the important bits removed - if anyone had any ideas please, please let me know!!!
