Differential Validation
Differential Validation compares independently produced outputs so compiler,
runtime, and release artifacts cannot drift silently.
Self-Host Validation
The core self-host check compares:
build/stage2.oisa
build/stage3.oisa
Both files must be byte-for-byte equal.
ELF Compiler Validation
The full self-host path also compares the ELF OISA compiler output against the
stage2 compiler output and checks the self-replicating ELF compiler builder.
Backend Validation
Backend parity uses expected-output conformance cases across native, VM, direct
ELF, and WASM-shaped lowering.
Release Validation
Release validation compares generated hashes, manifest schemas, package
metadata, backend reports, ABI reports, app release candidate hashes, and docs
parity reports.
