Completely unable to continue tasks by itself

I’m pulling my hair out trying to get openclaw to continue autonomously - I give it a task and it will just stop, and not continue unless I bug it. Even then it is so dam lazy it’s useless. No way can I have it orchestrate coding sessions. I’m using codex auth on the GPT 5.4 model.

It’s absolutely terrible. What am I doing wrong? It used to be great!
