Summary

Raise the full-e2e cold-onboard acceptance budget (ONBOARD_BUDGET_SECS) from 180s → 205s. This is the umbrella PR for today's live-E2E failures on main; scope and evidence per job below.

Failure triage (main, 2026-07-10)

A full E2E dispatch on main (run 29124128082) came back 78 passed / 5 skipped / 3 failed. Each failure was root-caused, not retried blindly:

Job Verdict Root cause
agent-turn-latency ✅ flake, self-cleared Passed on first retry — hosted-inference timing variance.
full-e2e 🔧 fixed here Consistent ~1s overshoot of a too-tight 180s onboard budget (see below).
rebuild-hermes verification pending Both observed failures were infra (operation was canceled, runner lost communication with the server) — not a test assertion or image-build error. Retry on post-bump main in flight (29129133666). See "Hermes v0.18" below.

full-e2e — full analysis (no gaps)

Symptom. The [1/8]-to-first-response gate (full-e2e.test.ts:215) failed 3 consecutive times:

Run to-first-response vs 180s budget
29124128082 180,829 ms +0.8s
29125880976 181,550 ms +1.5s
29127670707 180,602 ms +0.6s

Not flake, not inference, not a code regression — proven by the onboard-progress-budget.json artifact decomposition:

onboardSecs totalSecs headroom notes
Passing run 29128496025 (f4cd7ea9) 163 168 +12s BuildKit prebuild ✓, 0 classic steps
Failing run 29127670707 (fcc121d5) 173 181 −1s BuildKit prebuild ✓, 0 classic steps
  • The entire delta is in the cold onboard/BuildKit image-build phase (163s → 173s, a ~10s run-to-run swing) on identical, post-fix(onboard): harden BuildKit prebuild validation #6265 main — both heads are after the Hermes v0.18 bump, so the bump is not the cause.
  • The first hosted agent turn is only ~5–8s (totalSecs − onboardSecs); inference is a rounding error.
  • The 180s cap (introduced 4 days ago in fix(onboard): harden BuildKit prebuild validation #6265) left only ~7s of headroom against a phase that varies ~10s with Docker Hub pull speed and hosted-runner I/O — so slow-build runs tip over.

Fix. Raise to 205s: covers the observed 173s worst case plus build-variance headroom, while still catching gross onboard regressions (a real regression blows well past 205s; MAX_SILENCE_SECS and BuildKit-fallback assertions are unchanged).

Hermes v0.18 context

Today's main includes feat(hermes): upgrade to v0.18 and enable Slack Block Kit (#6507, 17:45Z), plus #6624 (release-matched sandbox bases) and #6623 (surface cluster image build failures). Because rebuild-hermes rebuilds the Hermes image, a v0.18-induced regression could in principle surface as runner resource-exhaustion. This PR does not yet claim rebuild-hermes is a flake — the in-flight retry on post-bump main is the deciding evidence:

  • retry passes → confirmed infra flake, no code change needed, this PR ships as-is;
  • retry fails (build error / OOM / repeat comms-loss) → v0.18 is implicated and a fix is added to this branch before merge.

Test evidence

  • commitlint, gitleaks, test-size/shape budgets: passed (pre-commit).
  • No product-code change; single test-constant edit. Behavioral proof is the artifact decomposition above.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Adjusted end-to-end onboarding timing thresholds by increasing the “acceptance budget” to allow for typical variability in image build times.
    • Updated test parity mappings to ensure the added live coverage is correctly linked with the corresponding faster test set.
    • Added inline guidance for why timing can fluctuate between runs, and why the previous cap needed more headroom.

…nce (#6002)

The [1/8]-to-first-response gate in full-e2e failed 3x consecutively on main
(180.8s, 181.5s, 180.6s vs the 180s cap). Artifact decomposition
(onboard-progress-budget.json) shows the overshoot is entirely in the cold
onboard/BuildKit image-build phase, not inference: onboardSecs ranged 163s
(passing run f4cd7ea) to 173s (failing run fcc121d) on post-#6265 main, a
~10s run-to-run swing driven by Docker Hub pull speed and runner I/O. The
first hosted agent turn itself is only ~5-8s. The 180s cap left ~7s of
headroom, so slow-build runs tipped over. Raise to 205s to absorb build
variance while still catching gross onboard regressions.

Optional E2E

  • full-e2e (high): Optional validation for the modified live full-e2e test itself, especially the adjusted cold onboard performance budget and parity mapping. This is not merge-blocking because the PR is tests-only and does not change runtime behavior.

Changing test/e2e/live/full-e2e.test.ts trips the e2e-mock-parity gate
(scripts/checks/e2e-mock-parity.ts), which requires every touched live test
to declare its fast coverage. Map full-e2e to its fast twin
test/e2e/support/onboard-performance.test.ts, which unit-tests the same
measurement helpers (maximumOutputSilenceMs, readOnboardTraceWindow,
extractOpenClawAgentPayloadText) the live test relies on; the cold-build
wall-clock budget itself remains inherently live.

## Summary

Raise the `full-e2e` cold-onboard acceptance budget
(`ONBOARD_BUDGET_SECS`) from **180s → 205s**. This is the umbrella PR
for today's live-E2E failures on `main`; scope and evidence per job
below.

## Failure triage (main, 2026-07-10)

A full `E2E` dispatch on `main` (run
[29124128082](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/29124128082))
came back **78 passed / 5 skipped / 3 failed**. Each failure was
root-caused, not retried blindly:

| Job | Verdict | Root cause |
|-----|---------|-----------|
| `agent-turn-latency` | ✅ flake, self-cleared | Passed on first retry —
hosted-inference timing variance. |
| `full-e2e` | 🔧 **fixed here** | Consistent ~1s overshoot of a
too-tight 180s onboard budget (see below). |
| `rebuild-hermes` | ⏳ **verification pending** | Both observed failures
were infra (`operation was canceled`, `runner lost communication with
the server`) — **not** a test assertion or image-build error. Retry on
post-bump `main` in flight
([29129133666](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/29129133666)).
See "Hermes v0.18" below. |

## `full-e2e` — full analysis (no gaps)

**Symptom.** The `[1/8]-to-first-response` gate (`full-e2e.test.ts:215`)
failed **3 consecutive times**:

| Run | to-first-response | vs 180s budget |
|-----|-------------------|----------------|
|
[29124128082](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/29124128082)
| 180,829 ms | +0.8s |
|
[29125880976](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/29125880976)
| 181,550 ms | +1.5s |
|
[29127670707](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/29127670707)
| 180,602 ms | +0.6s |

**Not flake, not inference, not a code regression** — proven by the
`onboard-progress-budget.json` artifact decomposition:

| | `onboardSecs` | `totalSecs` | headroom | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Passing run
[29128496025](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/29128496025)
(`f4cd7ea9`) | **163** | 168 | +12s | BuildKit prebuild ✓, 0 classic
steps |
| Failing run
[29127670707](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/29127670707)
(`fcc121d5`) | **173** | 181 | −1s | BuildKit prebuild ✓, 0 classic
steps |

- The entire delta is in the **cold onboard/BuildKit image-build phase**
(163s → 173s, a ~10s run-to-run swing) on **identical, post-NVIDIA#6265
`main`** — both heads are after the Hermes v0.18 bump, so the bump is
not the cause.
- The first hosted agent turn is only **~5–8s** (`totalSecs −
onboardSecs`); inference is a rounding error.
- The 180s cap (introduced 4 days ago in NVIDIA#6265) left only ~7s of
headroom against a phase that varies ~10s with Docker Hub pull speed and
hosted-runner I/O — so slow-build runs tip over.

**Fix.** Raise to **205s**: covers the observed 173s worst case plus
build-variance headroom, while still catching gross onboard regressions
(a real regression blows well past 205s; `MAX_SILENCE_SECS` and
BuildKit-fallback assertions are unchanged).

## Hermes v0.18 context

Today's `main` includes `feat(hermes): upgrade to v0.18 and enable Slack
Block Kit` (NVIDIA#6507, 17:45Z), plus `NVIDIA#6624` (release-matched sandbox bases)
and `NVIDIA#6623` (surface cluster image build failures). Because
`rebuild-hermes` rebuilds the Hermes image, a v0.18-induced regression
*could* in principle surface as runner resource-exhaustion. **This PR
does not yet claim `rebuild-hermes` is a flake** — the in-flight retry
on post-bump `main` is the deciding evidence:
- retry **passes** → confirmed infra flake, no code change needed, this
PR ships as-is;
- retry **fails** (build error / OOM / repeat comms-loss) → v0.18 is
implicated and a fix is added to this branch before merge.

## Test evidence

- `commitlint`, `gitleaks`, test-size/shape budgets: passed
(pre-commit).
- No product-code change; single test-constant edit. Behavioral proof is
the artifact decomposition above.
