Timeout error with context deadline exceeded

[lynnchin]

I am trying to test out the picoclaw by running a one shot agent using the following command:

picoclaw -agent -m "Test"

And I am getting a timeout error message:

2026/03/07 18:27:09 [2026-03-07T10:27:09Z] [INFO] agent: Created implicit main agent (no agents.list configured)

Can anyone shed some light what's happening? Thanks.
