Summary

After upgrading to OpenClaw 2026.4.2, multiple isolated cron agentTurn jobs started failing consistently after about 60-75 seconds with a timeout error.

Steps to reproduce

1. Upgrade OpenClaw to 2026.4.2 on macOS.
2. Run a cron job with sessionTarget=isolated and payload.kind=agentTurn.
3. Use a task that performs real work.
4. Observe timeout after about 60-75 seconds.

Expected behavior

The cron job should complete normally or fail with a task-specific error, not time out around 60-75 seconds.

Actual behavior

Multiple unrelated cron jobs start normally, run for about 60-75 seconds, then fail with: Request timed out before a response was generated. Switching affected jobs to main + systemEvent avoids the timeout pattern in tested cases.
