## GitHub Release Workflows
Use the smallest workflow that proves the current risk. The full umbrella is
available, but it is usually the last step after narrower proof, not the first
rerun after a focused patch.
### Full Release Validation
`Full Release Validation` (`.github/workflows/full-release-validation.yml`) is
the manual "everything before release" umbrella. It resolves a target ref, then
dispatches:
- manual `CI` for the full normal CI graph
- `OpenClaw Release Checks` for install smoke, cross-OS release checks, live and
E2E checks, Docker release-path suites, OpenWebUI, QA Lab, Matrix, and
Telegram release lanes
- optional post-publish Telegram E2E when a package spec is supplied
Run it only when validating an actual release candidate, after broad shared CI
or release orchestration changes, or when explicitly asked:
```bash
gh workflow run full-release-validation.yml \
--repo openclaw/openclaw \
--ref main \
-f ref=<branch-or-sha> \
-f workflow_ref=main \
-f provider=openai \
-f mode=both
```
If a full run is already active on a newer `origin/main`, prefer watching that
run over dispatching a duplicate. If you accidentally dispatch a stale duplicate,
cancel it and monitor the current run.
### Release Checks
`OpenClaw Release Checks` (`openclaw-release-checks.yml`) is the release child
workflow. It is broader than normal CI but narrower than the umbrella because it
does not dispatch the separate full normal CI child. Use it when release-path
validation is needed without rerunning the entire umbrella.
```bash
gh workflow run openclaw-release-checks.yml \
--repo openclaw/openclaw \
--ref main \
-f ref=<branch-or-sha> \
-f provider=openai \
-f mode=both
```
### Reusable Live/E2E Checks
`OpenClaw Live And E2E Checks (Reusable)`
(`openclaw-live-and-e2e-checks-reusable.yml`) is the preferred entry point for
targeted live, Docker, model, and E2E proof. Inputs let you turn off unrelated
lanes:
```bash
gh workflow run openclaw-live-and-e2e-checks-reusable.yml \
--repo openclaw/openclaw \
--ref main \
-f ref=<sha> \
-f include_repo_e2e=false \
-f include_release_path_suites=false \
-f include_openwebui=false \
-f include_live_suites=true \
-f live_models_only=true \
-f live_model_providers=fireworks
```
Useful knobs:
- `docker_lanes='<lane[,lane]>'`: run selected Docker scheduler lanes against
prepared artifacts instead of the three release chunks.
- `include_live_suites=false`: skip live/provider suites when testing Docker
scheduler or release packaging only.
- `live_models_only=true`: run only Docker live model coverage.
- `live_model_providers=fireworks` (or comma/space separated providers): run one
targeted Docker live model job instead of the full provider matrix.
- blank `live_model_providers`: run the full live-model provider matrix.
For model-list or provider-selection fixes, use `live_models_only=true` plus the
specific `live_model_providers` allowlist. Confirm logs show the expected
`OPENCLAW_LIVE_PROVIDERS` and selected model ids before declaring proof.
## Docker
Docker is expensive. First inspect the scheduler without running Docker:
