Full release validation - OpenClaw

Full Release Validation is the release product-validation umbrella. Most work happens in child workflows so a failed box can be rerun without restarting the whole release. This page is an index. The reference is documented on seven pages, one per reader job. Open the page that matches your task and complete that validation pass there.

Page	Read it when
Dispatch a validation run	Starting a run: Code SHA, Tooling SHA, helper inputs, and the immutable execution plan.
Continue a failed validation	Rerunning failed child jobs on an existing parent, and the post-merge continuation proof.
Extended-stable and changelog-only validation	Extended-stable dispatch, changelog-only reuse, coverage policies, and Telegram waivers.
Top-level stages	The umbrella stage matrix, evidence reuse, artifact producers, and decision states.
Release checks stages	The `OpenClaw Release Checks` stage matrix and the Docker release-path chunks.
Release profiles and focused reruns	Comparing profile coverage and picking a focused `rerun_group` or suite filter.
Evidence to keep	Recording evidence after a pass, and the backing workflow files.

Where each section moved

Every section heading from the previous single-page version keeps its anchor here, so an existing link such as /reference/full-release-validation#post-merge-continuation-proof still resolves. Each entry points at the page that now holds the content.
