Kova OpenClaw Runtime Findings

Run: kova-2026-05-03T132828Z
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-2026-05-03t132828z' -- status took 10643ms, over threshold 10000ms
Evidence:
- peakRssMb: 1008.4
- cpuPercentMax: 156.9
- coldAgentTurnMs: 26621
- warmAgentTurnMs: 17405
- agentColdWarmDeltaMs: 9216
- cold provider was fast (2ms), but OpenClaw spent 26485ms before provider work.
- agent-cli: 1008.4MB RSS, 156.9% CPU
- agent-process: 1008.4MB RSS, 156.9% 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-2026-05-03t132828z' -- status took 10643ms, over threshold 10000ms. Measurements: peakRssMb: 1008.4; cpuPercentMax: 156.9; coldAgentTurnMs: 26621; warmAgentTurnMs: 17405; agentColdWarmDeltaMs: 9216; cold provider was fast (2ms), but OpenClaw spent 26485ms before provider work.; agent-cli: 1008.4MB RSS, 156.9% CPU; agent-process: 1008.4MB RSS, 156.9% 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.
