perf: defer configured Slack full startup by steipete · Pull Request #87760 · openclaw/openclaw

steipete · 2026-05-28T18:51:01Z

Summary

Add a setup-runtime registration hook for bundled channel setup entries, with guarded API lifetime and rollback when registration fails.
Load deferred configured channel setup runtimes before gateway listen, then load the full runtime after bind so HTTP routes are ready without activating Slack early.
Move Slack webhook route registration into a shared config-only path and wire the Slack setup entry to register those routes.
Document the setup-runtime hook and deferred configured-channel startup contract.

Real behavior proof

Behavior addressed: Configured Slack HTTP mode no longer has to fully activate Slack before the gateway binds just to register webhook routes.

Real environment tested: Local macOS gateway run with fake Slack HTTP config, Discord and Telegram disabled, startup trace and plugin load profile enabled.

Exact steps or command run after this patch: Started node scripts/run-node.mjs gateway run --force --bind loopback --port 19442 with OPENCLAW_GATEWAY_STARTUP_TRACE=1, OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_LOAD_PROFILE=1, isolated OPENCLAW_CONFIG_PATH, OPENCLAW_HOME, OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR, and OPENCLAW_RUN_NODE_CPU_PROF_DIR=.artifacts/perf-slack-defer-gateway-final.

Evidence after fix: Trace showed Slack setup-runtime pre-bind at 229.1ms, http.bound at 2025.4ms, then full Slack runtime post-bind at 12.9ms with plugins.runtime-post-bind completing at 2926.6ms. CPU profile: .artifacts/perf-slack-defer-gateway-final/openclaw-gateway-23172-2026-05-28T17-17-54-512Z.cpuprofile.

Observed result after fix: Slack webhook routes were available before bind through setup-runtime registration, while full Slack provider/channel activation moved after listen and still started normally; fake Slack auth failed later as expected for the isolated config.

What was not tested: Real Slack credentials or a live Slack webhook delivery were not used; this proof isolates startup ordering and route registration behavior.

Codex review: needs maintainer review before merge. Reviewed May 28, 2026, 3:26 PM ET / 19:26 UTC.

Summary
The PR adds a bundled setup-runtime registration hook, uses it to register Slack HTTP routes before gateway listen, defers configured Slack full runtime loading until post-listen activation, and updates docs/tests.

PR surface: Source +68, Tests +303, Docs +11, Config +3. Total +385 across 16 files.

Reproducibility: not applicable. as a bug reproduction: this is a performance/startup contract PR, and the PR body supplies after-fix startup trace proof rather than a failing current-main repro.

Review metrics: 1 noteworthy metric.

Startup contract surfaces: 1 setup-runtime hook added, 1 plugin startup flag added, 1 host floor changed. These are compatibility-sensitive surfaces that affect plugin SDK behavior, startup ordering, and Slack install/update eligibility.

Merge readiness
Overall: 🐚 platinum hermit
Proof: 🐚 platinum hermit
Patch quality: 🐚 platinum hermit
Result: ready for maintainer review.

Overall follows the weaker of proof and patch quality, so missing proof can cap an otherwise strong patch.

Rank-up moves:

Let the in-progress exact-head checks finish or explain any non-passing result.
Get maintainer acceptance for the setup-runtime route contract and Slack minHost/startup metadata change.

Mantis proof suggestion
A real Slack HTTP-mode smoke would materially reduce the remaining transport-delivery uncertainty after the startup-order proof. A maintainer can ask Mantis to capture proof by posting a new PR comment that starts with the OpenClaw Mantis account mention, followed by:

slack desktop smoke: verify a configured Slack HTTP webhook still delivers after gateway bind when Slack full runtime is deferred.

Risk before merge

[P1] This expands the bundled setup-runtime/plugin SDK contract and allows setup-runtime registrations to publish gateway HTTP/method surfaces before full activation, which needs maintainer acceptance beyond green tests.
[P1] The Slack package host floor and startup metadata change can affect install/update compatibility for external Slack plugin users and must align with the next shipped OpenClaw host version.
[P1] The proof covers startup ordering with fake Slack config, but it does not prove a live Slack HTTP webhook delivery after deferred full runtime activation.
[P1] The current head still had exact-head checks in progress, so merge should wait for those checks to finish or be explicitly explained.

Maintainer options:

Merge after SDK and startup acceptance (recommended)
Wait for exact-head CI and maintainer acceptance of the setup-runtime route contract, Slack minHost bump, and deferred startup ordering before merge.
Add live Slack webhook proof
Maintainers can ask for a redacted real Slack HTTP webhook delivery run to cover the transport path that the fake-config startup proof does not exercise.
Pause if this contract is too broad
If setup-runtime HTTP/gateway registration is not the desired SDK direction, pause this PR and replace it with a narrower gateway-owned pre-bind route seam.

Next step before merge

[P2] Protected maintainer-labeled, compatibility-sensitive plugin SDK/startup work needs human acceptance and exact-head CI completion rather than an automated repair.

Security
Cleared: No concrete security or supply-chain defect was found; the package change is metadata-only, with no new dependency, lockfile, workflow, or lifecycle-script change.

Review details

Best possible solution:

Land only after maintainers accept the setup-runtime route contract, the Slack host-floor/startup metadata change, and exact-head CI, with live Slack HTTP delivery proof if maintainers want transport-level confidence.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Not applicable as a bug reproduction: this is a performance/startup contract PR, and the PR body supplies after-fix startup trace proof rather than a failing current-main repro.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Yes, with maintainer acceptance: a setup-runtime route hook is a coherent way to keep Slack route registration pre-bind without fully activating Slack, but the SDK and upgrade surface are broad enough that maintainers should explicitly own the contract.

What I checked:

Repository policy read: Root and scoped policies for extensions, plugins, plugin SDK, gateway, and docs were read; they mark plugin SDK, startup, config/default, and compatibility behavior as maintainer-sensitive. (AGENTS.md:1, 41366d3f5190)
Current main startup behavior: Current main calls prepareGatewayPluginBootstrap with loadRuntimePlugins: false during startup, then loads startup plugins later through the post-attach path when runtime plugins were not loaded pre-bind. (src/gateway/server.impl.ts:669, 41366d3f5190)
Proposed setup-runtime hook: The PR patch adds registerSetupRuntime to the bundled channel setup contract and lets setup-runtime mode register HTTP routes and gateway methods. (src/plugin-sdk/channel-entry-contract.ts:70, 68c7af354b62)
Slack metadata compatibility surface: The PR raises Slack minHostVersion from >=2026.5.12-beta.1 to >=2026.5.28 and adds openclaw.startup.deferConfiguredChannelFullLoadUntilAfterListen. (extensions/slack/package.json:60, 68c7af354b62)
CI state: Public check-run status for the current head showed relevant security/plugin-boundary checks passing, with Critical Quality (network-runtime-boundary), Security High (mcp-process-tool-boundary), and preflight still in progress at review time. (68c7af354b62)
History provenance: Current-main blame for the central startup/plugin SDK/Slack route files points to commit 2e8b3445fb0a9952fe6f5781bd2b39c6b6c05b10; earlier Slack startup lazy-seam work was merged through perf(slack): narrow runtime-setter + lazy-load 4 modules + narrow 2 SDK surfaces #69317. (extensions/slack/src/channel.lazy-seams.test.ts:1, 2e8b3445fb0a)

Likely related people:

steipete: Current-main blame for the central gateway startup, plugin loader, plugin SDK contract, and Slack route files points to Peter Steinberger's recent commit, and the current PR head is authored by the same handle.

What the crustacean ranks mean

🦀 challenger crab: rare, exceptional readiness with strong proof, clean implementation, and convincing validation.
🦞 diamond lobster: very strong readiness with only minor maintainer review expected.
🐚 platinum hermit: good normal PR, likely mergeable with ordinary maintainer review.
🦐 gold shrimp: useful signal, but proof or patch confidence is still limited.
🦪 silver shellfish: thin signal; proof, validation, or implementation needs work.
🧂 unranked krab: not merge-ready because proof is missing/unusable or there are serious correctness or safety concerns.
🌊 off-meta tidepool: rating does not apply to this item.

Shiny media proof means a screenshot, video, or linked artifact directly shows the changed behavior. Runtime, network, CSP, and security claims still need visible diagnostics.
