Bug type

Regression (worked before, now fails)

Summary

During openclaw gateway update to version 2026.3.12, the following errors occurred:

1. Completion cache update failed with OOM error:

Completion cache update failed (<--- Last few GCs --->

[87516:0x28766000] 55703 ms: Mark-Compact 981.0 (1007.2) -> 980.3 (1005.4) MB, pooled: 2 MB, 1354.61 / 0.00 ms (average mu = 0.064, current mu = 0.004) allocation failure; GC in old space requested

<--- JS stacktrace --->
FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

2. Gateway refresh failed after the update:

Failed to refresh gateway service environment from updated install: Error: updated install refresh failed

Environment:

• OS: Linux (Debian)
• Node: v22.22.1
• Version: 2026.3.11 → 2026.3.12

Suggested labels: bug, update, memory

Steps to reproduce

Update from 2026.3.11 to 2026.3.12 on a 2GB RAM VM

Expected behavior

Update should complete without OOM errors.

Actual behavior

Update completes but completion cache update fails with heap memory error, and gateway refresh also fails. Service eventually restarts but completion cache may be in a corrupted state.
