Upgrade Regression Smoke Runner — Release Notes v1.0

Release date: 2026-05-28

Category: automation

Price: $4.99

What it does

Upgrade Regression Smoke Runner turns release notes, incident notes, or upgrade-risk text into a practical dummy-machine smoke plan before OpenClaw changes reach production. It flags gateway, cron, plugin, bridge, timeout, and breaking-change signals, then returns a risk score, rollback requirements, and focused checks to run manually.

The skill is advisory and read-only: it does not run package managers, git, services, OpenClaw commands, shell commands, or network calls.

Use cases

OpenClaw operators planning upgrades who need a regression checklist before touching production agents.
Consultants managing client environments who need a documented smoke-test artefact for approval and sign-off.
Teams recovering from upgrade incidents who want repeatable checks for gateways, plugins, crons, bridges, and rollback readiness.

Requirements

Python 3.10+ recommended; standard library only.
A local text file containing release notes, upgrade notes, or incident context.
No API keys, external services, or network access required.

Example usage


python3 scripts/run_upgrade_regression_smoke.py release-notes.txt --json
python3 scripts/run_upgrade_regression_smoke.py --self-test --json

Expected output includes:


{
  "ok": true,
  "status": "WARN",
  "risk_score": 45,
  "smoke_plan": ["Run on dummy machine before production", "Gateway latency and timeout smoke"],
  "rollback_requirements": ["Restore point", "Version pin", "Backout owner"],
  "mutated_files": []
}

Website card

Upgrade Regression Smoke Runner gives OpenClaw operators a calm, repeatable upgrade safety gate. It reads release or incident notes, scores regression risk, and produces a dummy-machine smoke plan covering gateways, crons, plugins, bridges, breaking changes, and rollback evidence — all local, read-only, and dependency-free.
