Kova OpenClaw Runtime Findings

Run: kova-2026-05-03T132815Z
Target: local-build:/home/runner/_work/openclaw/openclaw
Mode: execution
Platform: linux 6.5.13 (x64)

Failure Brief

Decision: FAIL
Primary blocker: agent-cold-warm-message/mock-openai-provider
Why: ocm @'kova-agent-cold-warm-message-mock-openai-provider-r1-kova-2026-05-03t132815z' -- status took 10028ms, over threshold 10000ms
Evidence:
- peakRssMb: 1079
- cpuPercentMax: 246.3
- coldAgentTurnMs: 29479
- warmAgentTurnMs: 17875
- agentColdWarmDeltaMs: 11604
- cold provider was fast (1ms), but OpenClaw spent 29329ms before provider work.
- agent-cli: 1079MB RSS, 246.3% CPU
- agent-process: 1079MB RSS, 246.3% CPU
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: ocm @'kova-agent-cold-warm-message-mock-openai-provider-r1-kova-2026-05-03t132815z' -- status took 10028ms, over threshold 10000ms. Measurements: peakRssMb: 1079; cpuPercentMax: 246.3; coldAgentTurnMs: 29479; warmAgentTurnMs: 17875; agentColdWarmDeltaMs: 11604; cold provider was fast (1ms), but OpenClaw spent 29329ms before provider work.; agent-cli: 1079MB RSS, 246.3% CPU; agent-process: 1079MB RSS, 246.3% CPU. 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.
