+Manual dispatch normally benchmarks the workflow ref. Set `target_ref` to benchmark a release tag or another branch with the current workflow implementation. Published report paths and latest pointers are keyed by the tested ref, and each `index.md` records the tested ref/SHA, workflow ref/SHA, Kova ref, profile, lane auth mode, model, repeat count, and scenario filters.

 The workflow installs OCM from a pinned release and Kova from `openclaw/Kova` at the pinned `kova_ref` input, then runs three lanes:
 
 - `mock-provider`: Kova diagnostic scenarios against a local-build runtime with deterministic fake OpenAI-compatible auth.

 The mock-provider lane also runs OpenClaw-native source probes after the Kova pass: gateway boot timing and memory across default, hook, and 50-plugin startup cases; repeated mock-OpenAI `channel-chat-baseline` hello loops; and CLI startup commands against the booted gateway. The source probe Markdown summary lives at `source/index.md` in the report bundle, with raw JSON beside it.
 
-Every lane uploads GitHub artifacts.
