I think I found a cleaner repro for the openai/gpt-5.5 issue.
This is not an OpenAI model latency problem. In the OpenAI Platform logs, the Responses API request completes successfully and the assistant output is literally:
OK
Request metadata in OpenAI Platform:
model: gpt-5.5-2026-04-23
openclaw_session_id: test-openai-gpt55-config
openclaw_transport: stream
But OpenClaw CLI returns:
{
"status": "timeout",
"summary": "aborted",
"stopReason": "rpc",
"durationMs": 247294,
"agentMeta": {
"provider": "openai",
"model": "gpt-5.5",
"agentHarnessId": "pi"
},
"livenessState": "blocked"
}
The prompt was minimal:
Reply with only: OK
So the response is produced by OpenAI, but it does not seem to propagate back through OpenClawโs stream handling into the session / CLI / UI.
My current guess:
OpenAI Responses stream completes
โ OpenClaw openai-transport / PI harness does not mark the run completed
โ session/UI/CLI waits until idle timeout
Also worth noting: earlier I saw this log line:
OpenAI responses tool schema strict mode downgraded to strict=false for openai/gpt-5.5 because 20 tool schema(s) are not strict-compatible
But in this minimal repro OpenAI still returns the answer, so the main issue looks like stream/result propagation rather than the model failing to answer.
