Error Message

Use this issue as the first-hour behavior drift rollup while the harness continues to provide row-level details. Once the underlying runtime/tool drift issues are fixed, qa suite --runtime-pair pi,codex --runtime-suite first-hour-20 --provider-mode mock-openai should become a clean maintainer gate instead of a continue-on-error evidence lane.

Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

  • #80312 covers the read happy-path/failure-path argument drift that appears in several rows.
  • #80319 covers Codex dropping planned tool calls for tool fixtures and likely overlaps with the subagent/write/image rows.
  • #80320 covers Pi missing apply_patch in the tool-default matrix.
  • #80321 covers the legacy message fixture surface mismatch.

PR fix notes

PR #80323: [qa-lab] Complete Codex vs Pi runtime parity harness phases 2-5

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Summary

Adds the Codex-vs-Pi runtime parity QA harness across extensions/qa-lab, including runtime-pair execution, first-hour/depth suite selectors, harness-prompt parity, token-efficiency reporting, tool-default fixtures, JSONL replay scaffolding, and release-check wiring.

This update also corrects the tool-defaults mock lane so the harness matches Codex app-server architecture:

  • Codex-native workspace tools (read, write, edit, apply_patch, exec, process, update_plan) are no longer expected to appear as duplicate OpenClaw dynamic tools.
  • OpenClaw integration tools (image_generate, sessions, web, etc.) remain dynamic-tool parity rows and are tracked separately from Codex-native behavior rows.
  • Optional/profile/plugin-dependent tools stay report-only unless explicitly enabled.
  • Mock provider planned tool calls are captured as provider-plan diagnostics, not as runtime transcript tool evidence.
  • Tool coverage reports now show bucket, expected layer, required/report-only status, product impact, QA impact, and action.

Why

OpenClaw needs a maintainer-runnable gate that compares the same scenario/model under Pi and Codex before Codex becomes the default runtime. The gate must surface real runtime drift without turning mock-provider limitations or intentional Codex-native tool ownership into production bug reports.

Verification

Passing targeted/current-scope checks:

  • pnpm test extensions/qa-lab/src/runtime-tool-fixture.test.ts extensions/qa-lab/src/runtime-parity.test.ts extensions/qa-lab/src/tool-coverage-report.test.ts extensions/qa-lab/src/runtime-suite.test.ts extensions/qa-lab/src/suite.test.ts extensions/qa-lab/src/scenario-catalog.test.ts extensions/qa-lab/src/cli.runtime.test.ts extensions/qa-lab/src/cli.test.ts
  • pnpm tsgo:extensions:test
  • pnpm check:test-types
  • git diff --check

Real Behavior Proof

  • Behavior or issue addressed: Corrects the runtime parity tool-defaults harness so Codex-native workspace tools are no longer falsely required as duplicate OpenClaw dynamic tools, while OpenClaw dynamic integration rows remain visible and tracked.
  • Real environment tested: Local OpenClaw checkout at /Volumes/LEXAR/repos/openclaw-1 on branch codex-vs-pi-runtime-parity-tools, running the real pnpm openclaw qa CLI against the embedded gateway and mock OpenAI provider after this patch.
  • Exact steps or command run after this patch:

  • Evidence after fix: Terminal output produced these real local artifacts: .artifacts/qa-e2e/runtime-tools-correction/qa-suite-summary.json, .artifacts/qa-e2e/runtime-tools-correction/qa-suite-report.md, .artifacts/qa-e2e/runtime-tools-correction/qa-tool-coverage-report.md, .artifacts/qa-e2e/openclaw-dynamic-tools-correction/qa-suite-summary.json, and .artifacts/qa-e2e/runtime-tools-correction/parity/qa-runtime-token-efficiency-report.md.
  • Observed result after fix: tool-defaults completed with 20 scenarios, 15 pass, 5 report-only skip, 0 fail. Tool coverage verdict was pass with 13 required tools, 8 Codex-native workspace tools, 5 OpenClaw dynamic integration tools, 7 optional/profile/plugin tools, and 0 failing tools. The focused openclaw-dynamic-tools suite completed with 5 report-only rows tracked under #80319. Token efficiency report verdict was pass with usage source mock-estimate.
  • What was not tested: Live frontier token-efficiency proof was not completed because local direct OpenAI auth is missing; optional scheduled/Testbox soak-100 proof was not completed; broad first-hour-20 remains red and is tracked in #80434.

Why this issue exists

The expanded runtime parity harness now has a maintainer-facing first-hour-20 gate. A local mock proof run shows the gate is correctly surfacing runtime drift beyond the original per-tool fixture set. This issue tracks the first-hour behavior drift bucket so the harness PR can land with the evidence tied back to the umbrella instead of burying it in local artifacts.

Observed result

The post-merge suite completed and produced a runtime parity summary for 18 scenarios. Six passed with no runtime drift; twelve surfaced drift:

  • instruction-followthrough-repo-contract: tool-call-shape, tool call count differs (4 vs 1).
  • subagent-fanout-synthesis: tool-call-shape, tool call count differs (2 vs 1).
  • subagent-handoff: tool-call-shape, tool call count differs (1 vs 0).
  • channel-chat-baseline: structural, transcript/final-text line count differs (8 vs 3).
  • config-restart-capability-flip: tool-result-shape, first result differs for image_generate.
  • memory-recall: structural, transcript/final-text line count differs (8 vs 5).
  • thread-memory-isolation: tool-result-shape, first result differs for memory_search.
  • model-switch-tool-continuity: tool-result-shape, first result differs for read.
  • approval-turn-tool-followthrough: tool-result-shape, first result differs for read.
  • compaction-retry-mutating-tool: tool-call-shape, second tool call differs after write/replay safety handling.
  • runtime-first-hour-20-turn: failure-mode, at least one runtime hit a hard runtime failure.
  • source-docs-discovery-report: tool-result-shape, first result differs for read.

Related existing issues

  • #80319 covers Codex dropping planned tool calls for tool fixtures and likely overlaps with the subagent/write/image rows.
  • #80320 covers Pi missing apply_patch in the tool-default matrix.
  • #80321 covers the legacy message fixture surface mismatch.

Expected follow-up

Use this issue as the first-hour behavior drift rollup while the harness continues to provide row-level details. Once the underlying runtime/tool drift issues are fixed, qa suite --runtime-pair pi,codex --runtime-suite first-hour-20 --provider-mode mock-openai should become a clean maintainer gate instead of a continue-on-error evidence lane.
