Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end release governance for OpenClaw, including version alignment, changelog updates, and publish validation across npm and macOS pipelines.
  • Guardrails to ensure release hygiene, including branch discipline, sign/notarize steps, and controlled tag creation.
  • Use Case: Prepare a beta release on a release/YYYY.M.D branch and verify before publishing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate changelog generation and version alignment for releases?

You can prepare a beta release on a release/YYYY.M.D branch by running the release-maintainer workflow. It performs end-to-end validation, verifies version naming, and checks publish-time prerequisites before you publish artifacts.

Can I use release automation for macOS sign and notarize steps?

Yes, release automation applies to macOS pipelines by enforcing sign and notarize steps as prerequisites. It orchestrates artifact validation and references private docs for platform-specific credentials and publishing steps.

What is the best way to validate publish-time commands and artifacts?

The best way to validate publish-time commands is through controlled release governance. The workflow applies safeguards for artifact validation, release authentication, and branch discipline to ensure publish hygiene across npm and macOS pipelines.

Does release governance enforce branch discipline and tag creation?

Yes, release governance enforces branch discipline and controlled tag creation as core guardrails. These safeguards ensure release hygiene, align version naming, and prevent unauthorized publishes across beta and stable branches.

Why does preflight validation fail before publishing an OpenClaw release?

Preflight validation fails when release hygiene checks detect misaligned version naming, missing sign or notarize steps, or incorrect branch discipline. The workflow orchestrates these prerequisites to block invalid artifacts from publishing.
