Content Texture Publish

Texture Publication

Finalize only a digest-bound Texture decision chain and verify portable output dependency closure before publishing canonical artifacts.

When to Use

Use only when the frozen selection requests publish and an outer review has accepted every exact candidate unit. Fixed-pipeline finalization remains explicit.

Limitations

• Publication cannot change decisions, plan scope, or accepted artifacts.
• Embedded deterministic publication is the sole execution_effect=mutation operation in the Texture stage attempt.
• Schema/readback success cannot override visual rejection.
• Conditional output must retain unresolved exact unit IDs.
• Source assets remain immutable.

Prerequisites

The request, preparation, outer plan, generation, candidate evidence, outer review, source closure, reference bindings, and accepted candidate must all be available at their exact recorded digests.

Instructions

1. Verify every unit has an outer accept receipt for the exact persisted candidate generation result and output digest.
2. Reject publication when publish=not_requested, any review is reject/revise, or an optional leaf is mislabeled as passing.
3. Recheck request, source bytes and dependency closure, reference bytes, deterministic scope, generator result, evidence, accepted candidate, and non-target preservation before copying.
4. Publish once, then reopen the saved stage and repeat deterministic scope readback. Require the saved bytes to equal the accepted candidate bytes.
5. Write the publication validation and receipt binding every upstream packet, exact references, accepted candidate, published asset, and status table.

Command Reference

Run content-workflow-cli texture publish with the exact request, preparation, outer plan, generation, evidence, outer-review paths, and a new output path. The legacy _agent-step finalizer remains available to fixed-pipeline callers.

Common Workflows

Standalone and embedded workflows use the same patch and finalizer. Only the standalone wrapper launches a child.

Output Format

Retain publication_validation.json, texture_publication_receipt.json, the portable asset, and every upstream packet the receipt binds.

Troubleshooting

Any stale patch, missing dependency, digest drift, or out-of-root path fails before publication. Start a new run for changed inputs.
