+`npm_telegram` child is either successful or intentionally skipped. The final
+verifier summary includes slowest-job tables for each child run, so the release
+manager can see the current critical path without downloading logs.
 Child workflows are dispatched from the trusted ref that runs `Full Release
 Validation`, normally `--ref main`, even when the target `ref` points at an
 older release branch or tag. There is no separate Full Release Validation
 workflow-ref input; choose the trusted harness by choosing the workflow run ref.
 
+Use `release_profile` to select live/provider breadth:
+
+- `minimum`: fastest release-critical OpenAI/core live and Docker path
+- `stable`: minimum plus stable provider/backend coverage for release approval
+- `full`: stable plus broad advisory provider/media coverage
+
+`OpenClaw Release Checks` uses the trusted workflow ref to resolve the target
+ref once as `release-package-under-test` and reuses that artifact in both
+release-path Docker checks and Package Acceptance. This keeps all
+package-facing boxes on the same bytes and avoids repeated package builds.
