Description

## Description

On NemoClaw v0.0.125 with OpenClaw and the managed NVIDIA Nemotron endpoint, a long reasoning request remains active for more than 60 seconds but does not produce a valid completed response. The command eventually returns the user-visible error that the agent could not generate a response.

Platform scope: Reproduced on WSL2 x86_64 only; other platforms were not tested for this symptom.

Regression: Unknown.

## Environment

- Device: WSL2 x86_64 test host
- OS: Linux 6.6.87.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2
- Architecture: x86_64
- Node.js: v22.23.1
- npm: 10.9.8
- Docker: Docker Engine 29.5.3
- OpenShell CLI: 0.0.116
- NemoClaw: v0.0.125
- OpenClaw: 2026.7.1
- Inference: managed NVIDIA endpoint using `nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b`

## Steps to reproduce

1. Install NemoClaw v0.0.125 on a WSL2 x86_64 host with Docker Desktop integration.
2. Onboard an OpenClaw sandbox using the managed NVIDIA endpoint and `nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b`.
3. Confirm the provider smoke check and sandbox readiness succeed.
4. Send a reasoning prompt intended to stream for longer than 60 seconds.
5. Wait for the command to finish and inspect the returned response.

## Expected result

The request should continue streaming beyond 60 seconds and finish with a non-empty, substantive response. A long but active stream should not end as an empty agent response.

## Actual result

The request runs for about 70 seconds and then returns no substantive model content. The visible response is `Agent could not generate a response`. Provider preflight, installation, onboarding, sandbox readiness, and SSH connectivity all succeeded before the request.

## Logs

```text
Provider: NVIDIA Endpoints
Model: nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b
Inference smoke passed
Sandbox ready

Request duration: approximately 70 seconds
Final response:
Agent could not generate a response. Please try again.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the request on WSL2 x86_64 with the managed NVIDIA endpoint and nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b, then trace the streaming request path around the 60-second boundary. Compare the active stream with the final empty response and verify that long requests finish with substantive model content rather than the visible agent error.
