OpenClaw Signals: Kernel Benchmarks, Pod Scheduling, and the Debuggability Push

Tools

Kernel-Level Performance Benchmarks for Task Execution

This PR adds benchmarks that measure raw task execution speed at the kernel level, helping you identify bottlenecks in the orchestration layer itself. If you're optimizing for low-latency, this is where to start.

New Debug Harness for Inspecting Task State and Flow

This PR introduces a debug harness that lets you pause, inspect, and step through task execution, making it easier to trace issues in complex workflows. A major win for developer experience.

Enhanced Observability Hooks for Task Graph Visualization

This update adds hooks that feed task graph data into external visualization tools, giving you a live map of dependencies and execution paths. Essential for debugging distributed systems.

Discussion: Standardizing Health Check Endpoints for Orchestrators

This issue debates a standard format for health check endpoints, aiming to unify how orchestrators report their status. A small step that could simplify monitoring across the board.

Fix: Correct Resource Allocation Logic in Multi-Tenant Setups

This PR patches a bug where resource limits weren't properly enforced in multi-tenant deployments, preventing noisy neighbors from hogging CPU or memory. A must-merge for shared environments.
