Kova OpenClaw Runtime Findings

Run: kova-2026-05-03T132850Z
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: 456
- cpuPercentMax: 141.8
- coldAgentTurnMs: 1172
- No provider request happened during the agent turn.
- agent-cli: 456MB RSS, 141.8% CPU
- agent-process: 456MB RSS, 141.8% CPU
- command-tree: 456MB RSS, 141.8% CPU
- resourcePeakCpuAtMs: 1109
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: 456; cpuPercentMax: 141.8; coldAgentTurnMs: 1172; No provider request happened during the agent turn.; agent-cli: 456MB RSS, 141.8% CPU; agent-process: 456MB RSS, 141.8% CPU; command-tree: 456MB RSS, 141.8% CPU; resourcePeakCpuAtMs: 1109. 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: OpenClaw diagnostics timeline was required for profile 'diagnostic' on target kind 'local-build' but was not emitted
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

Violations:
- OpenClaw diagnostics timeline was required for profile 'diagnostic' on target kind 'local-build' but was not emitted
- agent message command finished without a usable assistant response
- cold agent turn did not produce the expected assistant response
- cold agent turn response did not include expected marker KOVA_AGENT_OK
- cold agent turn ran with mock auth but no mock provider request was captured
- No provider request happened during the agent turn.
