Crabbox

This runs OpenClaw validation jobs on remote Linux boxes instead of your laptop, which matters when you need CI parity, Docker lanes, or just don't want to spin up your fan for the full pnpm suite. The wrapper supports both direct AWS Crabbox leases and delegated Blacksmith Testbox runs, and the docs are careful about naming them correctly (cbx_ versus tbx_ IDs). You get reusable warm boxes, full resync flags when things smell stale, and static SSH target support for macOS and Windows hosts. The real value is keeping heavy integration work off local and getting actual provider proof with lease IDs you can trace.

PR CI = default broad proof. Use the consumer repository's proof policy for required checks, builds, and ready/merge gates. Run bounded local checks only when source trust and host qualification permit them.
Required build unavailable: remote capacity unavailable + local execution unqualified permits an already-authorized draft with the exact missing build and capacity gap recorded. Require successful exact-head CI covering that build before ready or merge. A skipped draft job is not proof: use the consumer's supported exact-head CI route. This changes proof timing, never publication authority, source trust, credentials, owner approval, or merge gates.
Box only for gaps in CI/local coverage: another OS/device, live providers/channels, long E2E, heavy benchmarks. Acquire only with command ready + immediate grant.
Queued: stop task-owned request; use PR CI or a qualified, trusted local scope. Report uncovered requirements. Never wait on queues or chain providers.
Fix real failures; never rerun/re-push merely for green. Read available CI failure classification before attributing failure to change.
