What this PR does / why we need it:
validation-frameworkwas retired intomainon 2026-05-05 (#260), butvalidation/docs/regression-testing.mdstill described ReleaseTest's canary as targeting that branch. Corrected every claim to match the current single-branch model (release_automation/docs/branching-model.md): ReleaseTest's caller pinstooling_ref_override: main— a literal name, not a resolved SHA, which is also whycontext.json'stooling_refcomes through unset for ReleaseTest captures — now documented explicitly.Also removed two stray internal references left in docstrings, and a dead
validation-frameworkpush trigger left over invalidation-settings-ci.yml.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
N/A — standalone documentation correction, no linked issue.
Special notes for reviewers:
Verified against a live capture run against
camaraproject/ReleaseTestbefore writing the correction (tooling_refomitted from the fixture, as now documented).actionlintand therelease_automationtest suite still pass.Changelog input
