Kova OpenClaw Runtime Findings

Run: kova-2026-05-03T114645Z
Target: local-build:/home/runner/_work/openclaw/openclaw
Mode: execution
Platform: linux 6.5.13 (x64)

Failure Brief

Decision: BLOCKED
Primary blocker: agent-cold-warm-message/mock-openai-provider
Why: peak RSS 2522.3 MB exceeded threshold 900 MB
Evidence:
- peakRssMb: 2522.3
- cpuPercentMax: 351.9
- build-tooling: 2522.3MB RSS, 351.9% CPU
- command-tree: 2522.3MB RSS, 351.9% CPU
- runtime-management: 2522.3MB RSS, 351.9% CPU
- resourcePeakCpuAtMs: 2206
- missingDependencyErrors: 0
- pluginLoadFailures: 0
Likely owner: OpenClaw
Paste to fixer:
Investigate OpenClaw release gate failure agent-cold-warm-message/mock-openai-provider. Kova decision was FAIL on linux-x64. Primary evidence: peak RSS 2522.3 MB exceeded threshold 900 MB. Measurements: peakRssMb: 2522.3; cpuPercentMax: 351.9; build-tooling: 2522.3MB RSS, 351.9% CPU; command-tree: 2522.3MB RSS, 351.9% CPU; runtime-management: 2522.3MB RSS, 351.9% CPU; resourcePeakCpuAtMs: 2206; missingDependencyErrors: 0; pluginLoadFailures: 0. Dependency/plugin load errors were zero, so focus on startup, memory, CPU, gateway readiness, runtime deps staging, provider/model load, and UI asset initialization. Likely owner area: OpenClaw.

Recommended next scenario

Reason: peak RSS 2522.3 MB exceeded threshold 900 MB
Command: node bin/kova.mjs run --target local-build:/home/runner/_work/openclaw/openclaw --scenario agent-cold-warm-message --state mock-openai-provider --execute --profile-on-failure --retain-on-failure --json
