OpenClaw Docker E2E Authoring

Use this when adding or changing Docker E2E lanes, release-path Docker tests, or live-provider Docker proof.

Lane Choice

• Deterministic Docker: fake the dependency/server and assert the exact runtime contract crossing the boundary.
• Live Docker: use real provider credentials/model only when user-visible behavior needs the real service.
• Prefer both when they prove different risks: deterministic for byte/payload routing, live for actual provider behavior.
