Move llama.cpp chat and local embeddings onto a verified externally managed llama-server runtime. Remove the in-process native runtime, forked embedding workers, and node-llama-cpp dependency while preserving guided setup, local GGUF models, tool-capable agent runs, diagnostics, and operator docs.
* ci: codify manual-only Node 22 compatibility
* ci: split remaining hosted tail lanes
* fix(qa-lab): carry the validated part index into the plan id type
* test(ci): repair hosted tail lane guards
#123345 added extensions/codex/src/app-server/run-attempt-state.test.ts
without a lane owner; the full-suite ownership audit
(test/vitest-projects-config.test.ts) fails on main and every PR. Register
it beside its run-attempt siblings in the attempt-extra lane.
* ci: run push compacts without tooling lanes and stripe giants three-way
* fix(ci): keep CompactNodeTestPlanMode internal
knip --production flags the exported type as unused; no external module
imports it.
* ci: shard hosted lint and node tests
Split core oxlint across hosted runners and use backend-specific compact Node admission caps while preserving Blacksmith behavior.
* test(ci): guard plugin prerelease planner isolation
GitHub-hosted 4-core fallback runners (Blacksmith-outage breaker) push
ui e2e beforeAll hooks past the 120s Linux limit; Windows already ran
at 180s for the same slower-machine reason.
Preserve ANSI output for reusable validation job-log reads while retaining a bounded fallback for GitHub CLI versions that do not support the raw-output flag.
Measured canonical-main first-start delay: median 180s, average 209s; 10 of the last 30 runs waited more than 300s.
Approved tradeoff: up to ~+30 concurrent Blacksmith VMs during merge storms. Scope is canonical main pushes only; pull requests, manual runs, non-main refs, and forks keep their existing semantics.
Bump the canonical-main concurrency group from v7 to v8 so in-flight old-group runs cannot mix with the two-slot pipeline.
* refactor(plugin-sdk): replace API baselines with diffs
* perf(plugin-sdk): bound API diff resources
* fix(plugin-sdk): isolate API diff dependencies
* fix(release): forward Plugin SDK acknowledgement
* fix(release): enforce SDK acknowledgement on publish
* chore: preserve generated-doc ignore policy
* fix(release): freeze SDK API evidence before publish
* fix(ci): satisfy SDK evidence guards
* fix(release): bind complete SDK evidence
* fix(release): authenticate plugin SDK evidence
* fix(plugin-sdk): abort interrupted API diffs
* test(ui): freeze page clock in background-tasks rail e2e
The rail transcript is compared byte-for-byte across the detail-panel
round-trip while it renders live relative ages; on slow CI runners the
second boundary ticks between the two reads (11s -> 12s) and fails the
equality assertion. Fix the page Date with Playwright setFixedTime while
keeping timers running so the tasks.list polling assertions still hold.
Repro: a 1.5s stall between the reads fails pre-fix with the exact CI
diff and passes post-fix.
* fix(scripts): drop unused export on dependency-evidence CLI main
Knip's workflow scan re-roots script references after an actions/checkout
step that sets path:, so the new trusted-tooling checkout in
openclaw-npm-release.yml stops marking this CLI as a workflow entry and
its exported main() surfaces as an unused export in check-dependencies.
Nothing imports main; the module invokes it through its own entry guard,
so the export keyword was dead surface either way.
