Add all new CI/CD workflow files for the staged branch promotion pipeline (develop alpha beta main). Push triggers are intentionally disabled workflows use workflow_dispatch or workflow_call only. No changes to existing ci.yml. All workflows are inert until activated in a follow-up PR. New workflows: - feature-pr.yml: auto-create PRs to develop (disabled) - hotfix-pr.yml: emergency hotfix PRs to main (disabled) - promote-branch.yml: staged promotion (disabled) - release-orchestrator.yml: release pipeline (disabled) - deployment-strategy.yml: npm + Docker deploy (workflow_call) - testing-strategy.yml: progressive test gates (workflow_call) - generate-changelog.yml: changelog generation (workflow_call) - version-operations.yml: version bumping (workflow_call) - release.yml: manual release trigger (workflow_dispatch) - rollback.yml: emergency rollback (workflow_dispatch) - discord-notify action: reusable notification Also adds pipeline docs and updates CONTRIBUTING.md with future branch strategy (clearly marked as not yet active). Split from #10755 for safe, additive merge.

# Release Pipeline
|
|
|
|
This document describes openclaw's staged release pipeline for contributors and maintainers.
|
|
|
|
## Branch Strategy
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dev/* ──────► develop ──────► alpha ──────► beta ──────► main
|
|
feature/* │ │ │ │
|
|
fix/* │ │ │ │

|
|
### Branch Purposes
|
|
|
|
| Branch | Purpose | npm tag | Who uses it |
|
|
| ----------------------------- | ------------------- | --------- | ---------------- |
|
|
| `dev/*`, `feature/*`, `fix/*` | Active development | - | Contributors |
|
|
| `develop` | Integration branch | - | CI validation |
|
|
| `alpha` | Early testing | `@alpha` | Internal testers |
|
|
| `beta` | Pre-release testing | `@beta` | Beta testers |
|
|
| `main` | Production releases | `@latest` | Everyone |
|
|
|
|
## Workflow Overview
|
|
|
|
### 1. Feature Development
|
|
|
|
1. Create a branch: `git checkout -b dev/my-feature`
|
|
2. Make changes and push
|
|
3. **Auto-PR created** to `develop` via `feature-pr.yml`
|
|
4. Get review, iterate, merge to `develop`
|
|
|
|
### 2. Promotion Through Stages
|
|
|
|
When code lands in `develop`, the `promote-branch.yml` workflow:
|
|
|
|
1. Runs tests appropriate for that stage
|
|
2. Creates a PR to the next branch (develop → alpha → beta → main)
|
|
3. Auto-merges `develop → alpha` if tests pass
|
|
4. Requires manual approval for `alpha → beta` and `beta → main`
|
|
|
|
### 3. Releases
|
|
|
|
Releases are triggered manually via the **Release** workflow:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to Actions → Release → Run workflow
|
|
2. Select release type: `alpha`, `beta`, or `stable`
|
|
3. Workflow runs: version bump → changelog → tests → npm publish → Docker push
|
|
|
|
## Test Coverage by Stage
|
|
|
|
| Stage | Tests Run |
|
|
| ------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| develop | tsgo, lint, format, protocol, unit tests (Node + Bun) |
|
|
| alpha | + secrets scan |
|
|
| beta | + Windows tests |
|
|
| stable | + macOS tests, install smoke tests |
|
|
|
|
## Emergency Hotfixes
|
|
|
|
For critical production issues:
|
|
|
|
1. Create branch: `git checkout -b hotfix/critical-bug`
|
|
2. Push → **Auto-PR created** directly to `main`
|
|
3. Get expedited review (skip staging)
|
|
4. After merge, cherry-pick to `develop`, `alpha`, `beta` to sync
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# After hotfix merges to main
|
|
git checkout develop && git cherry-pick <commit-sha> && git push
|
|
git checkout alpha && git cherry-pick <commit-sha> && git push
|
|
git checkout beta && git cherry-pick <commit-sha> && git push
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## npm Installation by Channel
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Stable (default)
|
|
npm install -g openclaw
|
|
|
|
# Beta testing
|
|
npm install -g openclaw@beta
|
|
|
|
# Alpha testing (bleeding edge)
|
|
npm install -g openclaw@alpha
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Docker Images
|
|
|
|
Images are published to GitHub Container Registry:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Stable
|
|
docker pull ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest
|
|
|
|
# Beta
|
|
docker pull ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:beta
|
|
|
|
# Specific version
|
|
docker pull ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:2026.2.6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Version Format
|
|
|
|
- **Stable**: `YYYY.M.D` (e.g., `2026.2.6`)
|
|
- **Beta**: `YYYY.M.D-beta.N` (e.g., `2026.2.6-beta.1`)
|
|
- **Alpha**: `YYYY.M.D-alpha.N` (e.g., `2026.2.6-alpha.3`)
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
### Required Secrets
|
|
|
|
Configure these in GitHub repo Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions:
|
|
|
|
| Secret | Required? | Purpose | How to get it |
|
|
| --------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `GITHUB_TOKEN` | Automatic | PR creation, Docker registry, branch ops | Provided by GitHub Actions — no setup needed |
|
|
| `NPM_TOKEN` | Yes (for publishing) | npm publish with `@alpha`, `@beta`, `@latest` tags | npmjs.com → Access Tokens → Generate New Token → Automation |
|
|
| `DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL` | Optional | Notifications for promotions, test results, deployments | Discord → Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks |
|
|
|
|
Without `NPM_TOKEN`, the pipeline runs normally but skips npm publishing. Without `DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL`, notifications are silently skipped.
|
|
|
|
### Branch Setup
|
|
|
|
Staging branches are auto-created from `main` when the first promotion runs. No manual setup required.
|
|
|
|
### Rollback
|
|
|
|
The rollback workflow (`Actions → Rollback`) re-tags npm and Docker to a previous version. Requires `NPM_TOKEN` and is manual-trigger only.
