Kova OpenClaw Runtime Findings

Run: kova-2026-05-03T132831Z
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: OpenClaw diagnostics timeline was required for profile 'diagnostic' on target kind 'local-build' but was not emitted
Evidence:
- peakRssMb: 709.4
- cpuPercentMax: 150.5
- coldAgentTurnMs: 9887
- warmAgentTurnMs: 7216
- agentColdWarmDeltaMs: 2671
- cold agent turn 9887ms; pre-provider 9786ms; provider 1ms.
- agent-cli: 709.4MB RSS, 150.5% CPU
- agent-process: 709.4MB RSS, 150.5% 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: OpenClaw diagnostics timeline was required for profile 'diagnostic' on target kind 'local-build' but was not emitted. Measurements: peakRssMb: 709.4; cpuPercentMax: 150.5; coldAgentTurnMs: 9887; warmAgentTurnMs: 7216; agentColdWarmDeltaMs: 2671; cold agent turn 9887ms; pre-provider 9786ms; provider 1ms.; agent-cli: 709.4MB RSS, 150.5% CPU; agent-process: 709.4MB RSS, 150.5% 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.
