Testing and CI
CI pipeline
This page is an index. CI is documented on nine pages, one per reader job. Open the page that matches your task.
For the published-upgrade regression gate, see selection and routing, runner budgets, and Package Acceptance baselines. Weekly validation is listed under Update Migration.
Docs-only main pushes skip CI. Every canonical main push admitted by the CI workflow selects the published-upgrade regression gate.
| Page | Read it when |
|---|---|
| CI pipeline jobs | The job table, the fail-fast order, and the Control UI size budgets. |
| Watch a CI run | Wait on one pull request head, recover a stuck run, and pass the evidence gate. |
| CI checkout ownership | Shared checkout anchors, fetch retry budgets, and trusted action policy. |
| CI scope and routing | Why a job did or did not run: changed-scope detection and manual dispatch. |
| CI runner classes | Trust-based runner routing, Blacksmith classes, and runner backend modes. |
| CI capacity and shard weights | The runner registration budget and the measured timings behind shard packing. |
| Release validation workflows | Full Release Validation, live and E2E shards, Package Acceptance, install smoke, Docker E2E, and Plugin Prerelease. |
| Scheduled and maintenance workflows | OpenClaw Performance, QA Lab, CodeQL, the maintenance jobs, and ClawSweeper activity forwarding. |
| Local checks and Testbox | Reproduce a lane locally, keep the shrink-only ratchets, and run Crabbox or Testbox proof. |
Where each section moved
Every section heading from the previous single-page version keeps its anchor here, so an existing link such as /ci#pipeline-overview still resolves. Each entry points at the page that now holds the content.
