 - Models/Providers: treat credential validation failures as auth errors to trigger fallback; normalize `${ENV_VAR}` apiKey values and auto-fill missing provider keys; preserve explicit GitHub Copilot provider config + agent-dir auth profiles.
 - Gemini: normalize Gemini 3 ids to preview variants; strip Gemini CLI tool call/response ids; downgrade missing `thought_signature`; strip Claude `msg_*` thought_signature fields to avoid base64 decode errors.
 - MiniMax: strip malformed tool invocation XML; include `MiniMax-VL-01` in implicit provider for image pairing.
+- Onboarding/Auth: honor `CLAWDBOT_AGENT_DIR` / `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR` when writing auth profiles (MiniMax). (#829) — thanks @roshanasingh4.
 - Anthropic: merge consecutive user turns (preserve newest metadata) before validation to avoid incorrect role errors.
 - Messaging: enforce context isolation for message tool sends; keep typing indicators alive during tool execution.
 - Auto-reply: `/status` allowlist behavior, reasoning-tag enforcement on fallback, and system-event enqueueing for elevated/reasoning toggles.
