-- `merge`: retain managed output paths omitted from the new plan, overwrite planned paths only when they are already recorded in existing state, fail when a newly planned path exists in storage but is not recorded as managed, and write state whose `outputs` are the cumulative managed set.
-
-Top-level `links.primary_url` is selected from the newly planned outputs for the current publication. Retained outputs keep their existing per-output URL metadata.
-
-If a merge publication fails after writing outputs, cleanup removes only newly created outputs from that failed attempt. Previously managed overwritten paths remain managed and are not removed by failed-attempt cleanup.
-
-## Comparison Semantics
-
-`distributor` compares the current source manifest to destination state before writing:
-
-- No state and no content: publish new outputs.
-- No state and existing content: treat the destination as unmanaged.
-- Shared-root state without the current owner: publish new outputs for that owner if planned paths do not collide with other owners or unmanaged content.
-- Matching embedded source manifest: skip.
-- Same source id with older `created`: replace if policy allows.
-- Same source id with newer `created`: skip by default.
-- Same source id and same `created` with different digest: conflict.
-- Different source id, pipeline id, or destination id: conflict.
-- Invalid state JSON or invalid state fields: conflict.
-
-Normal single-owner replacement deletes only managed output paths recorded in `outputs` plus `.distributor.json`. Shared-root replacement deletes only omitted outputs for the current owner. Merge publication retains omitted managed outputs. Forced replacement deletes the bounded destination bundle path.
-
-## State Repair Semantics
-
-`distributor reconcile-state` can remove managed output records for files that no longer exist in destination storage. It uses the configured pipeline and destination selector to open one destination root and reads that root's `.distributor.json`.
-
-For single-owner state, the state `pipeline_id` and `destination_id` must match the selected pipeline and destination. The command checks output paths recorded in `outputs`, reports missing managed outputs, reports unmanaged entries under the destination root, and removes missing output records from valid state unless `--dry-run` is set.
-
-For shared-root state, repair is scoped to the selected owner by default. With `--all-owners`, it checks and repairs missing output records for every owner in the selected shared-root state file.
-
-State repair does not validate output digests, delete destination files, adopt unmanaged entries, or rewrite invalid or mismatched state.
-
-## Prune Semantics
-
-`distributor prune` can delete managed outputs selected by the configured destination retention policy. It uses the configured pipeline and destination selector to open one destination root and reads that root's `.distributor.json`.
-
-For single-owner state, the state `pipeline_id` and `destination_id` must match the selected pipeline and destination. For shared-root state, pruning is scoped to the selected owner and preserves other owners.
-
-Prune planning uses output `updated_at` timestamps. `prune --dry-run` reports planned managed-output deletes without deleting files or rewriting state. `prune --apply` deletes only planned managed output paths, removes confirmed deleted records from valid state, and updates the state timestamp. It does not delete unmanaged files or `.distributor.json`.
-
-## Compatibility
-
-`distributor` can read schema version `1` destination state for compatibility. When v1 state is read, it is treated as single-owner state with `reconciliation.mode: replace`. Missing top-level `created_at` and `updated_at` are inferred from `published_at`, and missing per-output timestamps are also inferred from `published_at`.
-
-Newly written single-owner destination state from publish execution uses schema version `2`.
-
-## Shared-Root State Schema
-
-State written by `run` for `state.mode: shared_root` uses schema version `3`.

+- `updated_at`: RFC3339 timestamp for when this output path was last written or updated in state.
 
-## Shared-Root Ownership
+Output paths must be unique and use clean relative slash-separated path rules. `pipeline_id` and `destination_id` must be slug-like identifiers.
 
-Shared-root state is owner-scoped by `pipeline_id` and `destination_id`.
+For copied source outputs, `source_path` and `transform` are omitted. For generated outputs, both fields are required.
 
-- One output path may be owned by only one owner.
-- The same owner may overwrite its own managed paths.
-- A different owner planning an already owned path fails as a conflict.
-- A planned path that exists in storage but is not recorded in state fails as unmanaged content unless forced replacement is explicitly selected.
+## Source Identity
 
-When an owner publishes, unrelated owner records and output records are preserved. The publishing owner's record is updated with the latest source manifest, reconciliation mode, and latest primary URL when present.
+Each output records the source identity that produced it:
 
-## Shared-Root Timestamps
+- `source.id`: source manifest id.
+- `source.digest`: source manifest digest.
+- `source.created`: source manifest creation timestamp.
 
-For shared-root state:
+The full source manifest is not embedded in catalog state. The source bundle's `manifest.json` remains the producer contract, and `.distributor.json` records only the source identity needed for catalog ownership and later maintenance workflows.
 
-- top-level `created_at` remains the original shared-root state creation time;
-- top-level `updated_at` changes after a successful state write;
-- output `created_at` remains stable for an existing managed path;
-- output `updated_at` changes only when that path is rewritten;
-- newly managed output paths receive the publication time for both output timestamps.
+## Workflow Semantics
 
-## Shared-Root Migration
+Destination `workflow` is runtime configuration and is not persisted in `.distributor.json`.
 
-If `state.mode: shared_root` is configured and existing state is a compatible single-owner `.distributor.json` for the same pipeline id and destination id, the next successful publish writes schema version `3` shared-root state for that owner.
+`workflow: additive` writes planned outputs and retains unrelated catalog-managed outputs. If a planned path already has a catalog output record, the current publication replaces that record and overwrites the file. If a planned path exists in storage but is not recorded in valid catalog state, planning fails as unmanaged unless `run --force` selects `force_replace`.
 
-If existing single-owner state belongs to a different pipeline or destination, publish fails as a conflict. `distributor` does not implicitly take over unrelated state or unmanaged files.
+`workflow: replacement` writes planned outputs for the current pipeline and destination and removes omitted outputs owned by that same pipeline and destination. Outputs owned by other pipeline/destination pairs remain catalog-managed. This is normal managed replacement and does not require `--force`.
+
+`force_replace` is an explicit per-run recovery path. It deletes only the resolved destination bundle path, then writes planned outputs and fresh catalog state. It can replace unmanaged content, planned unmanaged path collisions, invalid destination state, and unsupported future destination state after dry-run review.
+
+## Publish Planning Outcomes
+
+Current run reports use these destination action labels:
+
+- `publish_new`: no valid state exists and the destination bundle path is empty.
+- `upsert_additive`: valid catalog state exists and additive workflow will write the planned outputs.
+- `replace_catalog`: valid catalog state exists and replacement workflow will write the planned outputs and remove omitted outputs for the current owner.
+- `skip_same`: no-op action value in the run output vocabulary.
+- `force_replace`: explicit bounded destructive replacement selected by `--force`.
+- `fail_unmanaged`: unmanaged destination content prevents publication.
+- `fail_conflict`: invalid state or unsupported state prevents publication without explicit force.
+
+Schema versions older than `4` are superseded legacy state for publish planning. Normal catalog planning may publish over superseded legacy state according to the configured workflow, while invalid state and unsupported future schema versions fail unless `--force` is explicitly selected.
+
+## Repair Semantics
+
+`distributor reconcile-state` removes catalog output records for files that no longer exist in destination storage. It uses the configured pipeline and destination selector to open one destination root and reads that root's `.distributor.json`.
+
+By default, repair is scoped to output records whose `pipeline_id` and `destination_id` match the selected pipeline and destination. With `--all-owners`, it checks every catalog output record in the selected root.
+
+The command reports missing managed outputs and unmanaged storage entries. Without `--dry-run`, it removes missing managed output records from valid catalog state and rewrites `.distributor.json`. It does not delete destination files, adopt unmanaged entries, validate output digests, or rewrite invalid state.
+
+## Prune Semantics
+
+`distributor prune` deletes catalog output paths selected by the configured destination `retention.prune` policy. It uses the configured pipeline and destination selector to open one destination root and reads that root's `.distributor.json`.
+
+Prune planning is scoped to output records whose `pipeline_id` and `destination_id` match the selected pipeline and destination. It uses output `updated_at` timestamps. `prune --dry-run` reports planned managed-output deletes without deleting files or rewriting state. `prune --apply` deletes only planned managed output paths, removes confirmed deleted records from valid catalog state, and updates the state timestamp. It does not delete unmanaged files or `.distributor.json`.
 
 ## Boundaries
 
 Destination state is internal managed state written by `distributor`. Operators may inspect it during recovery, but normal workflows should not edit it by hand. Source `manifest.json` is not copied as destination state.

+Planning inspects destination state through `internal/state` and maps catalog conditions into actions:
 
-Single-owner destinations compare the whole destination state against the configured pipeline and destination ids. Shared-root destinations compare only the current owner scope, keyed by pipeline id and destination id.

+Execution writes destination state after selected outputs are written. Catalog output records include owner identity, compact source identity, copied source output metadata, generated output metadata, output timestamps, and optional URL metadata.
 
-`skip_same` and `skip_destination_newer` execute as no-ops. Replacement-mode single-owner updates remove managed output paths from existing state plus `.distributor.json`, verify the destination is empty, and write state whose outputs are exactly the new plan. Replacement-mode shared-root updates remove only current-owner omitted outputs and preserve unrelated owners. Merge-mode updates retain omitted managed outputs, overwrite only paths already recorded as managed, reject unmanaged destination path collisions, and write cumulative output state. Failed writes trigger cleanup where practical; merge cleanup removes only newly created outputs from the failed attempt.
+## Workflow Behavior
 
-Shared-root execution writes schema version `3` state. It preserves unrelated owner records and outputs, updates only the publishing owner metadata, preserves root `created_at`, and updates root `updated_at` after successful state writes. Compatible single-owner state for the same pipeline and destination is converted to shared-root state on successful publish.
+Additive workflow computes a write set for the planned outputs and preserves catalog outputs for unplanned paths. Existing catalog records for planned paths are replaced by the current owner and source identity. When every planned output already matches catalog metadata, planning returns `skip_same` and ignores unrelated retained catalog outputs for the no-op decision.
 
-Forced replacement is explicit per request and deletes the bounded destination bundle path before writing new outputs and state.
+Replacement workflow computes a write set for the planned outputs, preserves other-owner outputs, and deletes omitted outputs owned by the current pipeline and destination. It does not need `Force`. Matching planned outputs return `skip_same` only when replacement would not delete omitted outputs for the current owner.
+
+Catalog skip comparison is metadata-only. It checks pipeline id, destination id, source id, source digest, source creation timestamp, output path, kind, digest, size, generated output source path, generated output transform, and output URL metadata. It does not read destination file bytes, and `skip_same` execution does not write outputs, rewrite `.distributor.json`, delete files, or notify.
+
+Forced replacement is explicit per request. It deletes the bounded destination bundle path before writing planned outputs and schema version `4` catalog state. Catalog planning selects `force_replace` only when `Force` is true and normal planning would otherwise fail for a non-empty no-state destination, a planned path collision with unmanaged storage content, invalid destination state, or unsupported future destination state.
 
 Retention pruning is not part of publish execution and does not run automatically after a successful publish. The app-level prune workflow uses destination state after publication to select managed outputs for deletion.
 
 ## Failure Behavior
 
-Planning fails for incomplete requests, invalid publish/transform policy, invalid state mode, invalid reconciliation mode, output path collisions, invalid destination state, unmanaged destination content without force, shared-root owner path conflicts, conflict outcomes not allowed by transfer policy, unresolved transforms, invalid Markdown output selection, and invalid link URL planning.

 ## State And Manifest Behavior
 
-`.distributor.json` schema version is `2` for newly written single-owner state. Required fields are `pipeline_id`, `destination_id`, `published_at`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `state.mode`, `reconciliation.mode`, `source.manifest`, and `outputs`. `distributor_version` and `links` are optional.
+Current `.distributor.json` publish output uses schema version `4` catalog state. Required top-level fields are `schema_version`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `state.mode`, and `outputs`; `distributor_version` is optional.
 
-Schema version `1` state remains readable. Parsing infers `state.mode: single_owner`, `reconciliation.mode: replace`, top-level `created_at` and `updated_at` from `published_at`, and per-output timestamps from `published_at`.
+Each catalog output record requires a clean path, pipeline id, destination id, source identity, `source` or `generated` kind, lowercase SHA-256 digest, non-negative size, and created/updated timestamps. Generated outputs require `source_path` and `transform`; copied source outputs must omit both. Stored URLs are optional and must pass `internal/link` validation.
 
-Schema version `3` is shared-root state. It records `state.mode: shared_root`, shared state timestamps, owner records keyed by pipeline id and destination id, each owner's latest source manifest and reconciliation metadata, optional owner primary links, and output records for every managed path. Shared-root output records include owner ids and compact source identity fields for source id, digest, and creation time.
+Embedded source identity records contain source manifest id, digest, and creation timestamp. Full source manifests are not embedded in catalog state.
 
-Shared-root publish conversion is explicit. Compatible single-owner state for the same pipeline and destination can be projected into the current owner scope by publish execution. Unrelated single-owner state remains a conflict.
+The package identifies schema versions older than the current catalog schema as superseded legacy state for publish planning. It rejects invalid JSON, malformed catalog state, and unsupported future schema versions.
 
-Embedded source manifests are parsed and validated through `internal/bundle`, which delegates source manifest semantics to `pkg/bundle`. Output records require clean paths, `source` or `generated` kind, valid source paths, lowercase SHA-256 digests, non-negative sizes, created and updated timestamps, and transform ids for generated outputs. Stored URLs must pass `internal/link` validation.

-The package also provides helpers for finding output records by path, projecting planned publish outputs into timestamped state outputs, merging retained and newly planned output records, computing managed output paths from single-owner state, removing missing managed output records from single-owner state, and building prune candidates from managed outputs.
-
-For shared-root state, helpers parse either state shape, identify the current owner scope, return an owner's latest source manifest, list managed paths for one owner or all owners, detect path ownership conflicts, project planned owner outputs, merge one owner's planned outputs while preserving unrelated owners, replace one owner's outputs by removing that owner's omitted outputs, remove missing managed output records for either the current owner or every owner, and build owner-scoped prune candidates.

+`distributor` plans from the current source bundle, destination workflow, destination storage content, and `.distributor.json`.
 
-- No destination state and no destination content: publish new outputs.
-- Matching destination state: skip as already published.
-- Older destination state for the same source id: replace if transfer policy allows it.
-- Newer destination state: skip by default.
-- Invalid destination state, identity mismatch, different source id, or same-created digest mismatch: fail by default.

+- Valid catalog state with `workflow: additive`: write planned outputs and retain unrelated catalog outputs.

+- Planned output path exists in storage but is not recorded in valid catalog state - fail as unmanaged unless `--force` is used.
+- Invalid destination state or unsupported future state - fail as conflict unless `--force` is used.
+- Superseded legacy state - publish through the catalog planner and write schema version `4` state on success.
 
-When destination state is older than the source, `transfer.on_destination_older` controls whether publication may proceed and `reconciliation.mode` controls how managed outputs are updated.
+`workflow: additive` is the default. It is useful for archive roots, fan-out roots that intentionally receive disjoint outputs, and roots that accumulate managed outputs over time.
 
-`reconciliation.mode: replace` is the default. It deletes only managed output paths recorded in `.distributor.json` plus the state file, verifies the destination bundle path is empty, then writes the newly planned outputs and state. The new state `outputs` array is exactly the newly planned output set.
-
-`reconciliation.mode: merge` retains prior managed outputs that are omitted from the new plan. It overwrites planned paths only when those paths are already recorded in existing state as managed. If a newly planned path already exists in storage but is not recorded in state, publication fails as an unmanaged path collision. The new state `outputs` array is the cumulative managed output set.
-
-For both modes, retained or overwritten paths are identified only from `.distributor.json`; unmanaged files are not adopted.
-
-For `state.mode: shared_root`, one destination root may contain outputs from multiple pipeline/destination owners. Comparisons, replacement, and merge retention are scoped to the current owner. Outputs owned by other owners are preserved. A planned output path owned by another owner fails as a conflict, and a planned path that exists in storage but is not recorded in state fails as unmanaged content by default.
-
-If `state.mode: shared_root` is configured on a destination whose existing single-owner state belongs to the same pipeline and destination, the next successful publish converts that state file to shared-root schema. Existing single-owner state for a different pipeline or destination remains a conflict.
-
-If a write fails after some outputs were written, `distributor` attempts cleanup before returning the error. In `replace` mode, cleanup removes outputs written during that failed attempt. In `merge` mode, cleanup removes only newly created outputs from that failed attempt; overwritten managed outputs are left in place because they previously belonged to the managed set. Operators should still inspect the destination after a failed write before retrying.
+`workflow: replacement` is useful for stable latest-style roots where the current pipeline and destination should leave only the currently planned output set for that owner. Replacement workflow is normal managed behavior and does not require `--force`.
 
 Fan-out destinations are independent. If one destination fails after planning or execution begins, later destinations are still attempted. The command exits non-zero if any destination failed.

 Reference: [Configuration](config.md#secrets).

-## Credential Variable Is Missing Or Empty
-
-Symptom: `credential environment variable ... is not set`, `credential environment variable ... is empty`, or S3 authentication errors such as `AccessDenied`, `InvalidAccessKeyId`, or `SignatureDoesNotMatch`.
-
-Likely cause: configured S3 credential variable names are not available through the process environment or `secrets.directory`, are empty, or do not authorize the requested bucket/prefix.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-env | cut -d= -f1 | rg '^(<access-key-variable>|<secret-key-variable>)$'
-ls -l <secrets-directory>
-```
-
-Safe fix: provide both configured S3 credential values, correct IAM/service permissions, or omit explicit credential fields to use the AWS SDK default credential chain.
-
-Reference: [Configuration](config.md#s3-compatible-backend).
-
-## Secret File Is Ignored In Favor Of Environment
-
-Symptom: `secret ... ignored because the real environment already has that variable`.
-
-Likely cause: the same credential name exists in the process environment and `secrets.directory` with different values.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-env | cut -d= -f1 | rg '^<variable-name>$'
-ls -l <secrets-directory>/<variable-name>
-```
-
-Safe fix: remove one source of the credential or intentionally keep the process environment value. `distributor` does not print either value.
-
-Reference: [Operations](operations.md#secrets-operation).
-
-## SSH Auth Is Not Configured
-
-Symptom: `no SSH auth methods configured`.
-
-Likely cause: no SSH agent is available and `ssh_key_file` is missing or unreadable.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-test -n "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" && ssh-add -l
-ls -l <ssh-key-file>
-```
-
-Safe fix: start an SSH agent with an appropriate key loaded, or configure a readable private key with `ssh_key_file`.
-
-Reference: [Configuration](config.md#sshsftp-backend).
-
-## SSH Host Key Fails
-
-Symptom: `host key ... is unknown`, `known_hosts is required`, or `host key ... has changed`.
-
-Likely cause: strict host key checking has no trusted key, `accept-new` cannot persist a new key, or the remote host key differs from the stored key.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-ls -l <known-hosts-path>
-ssh-keygen -F <host> -f <known-hosts-path>
-```
-
-Safe fix: pre-populate `known_hosts` for `strict`, configure a writable `known_hosts` path for `accept-new`, or verify the server identity before updating a changed key. Do not disable host key checking to bypass an unexpected changed key.
-
-Reference: [Operations](operations.md#sshsftp).
-
-## S3 Prefix Is Invalid
-
-Symptom: `prefix must be a clean relative slash-separated path`.
-
-Likely cause: the S3 prefix contains traversal, dot segments, empty segments, or backslashes after leading and trailing slashes are trimmed.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-go run ./cmd/distributor run --config <config-path> --dry-run
-```
-
-Safe fix: use a clean relative prefix such as `reports/archive`, or omit `prefix`.
-
-Reference: [Configuration](config.md#s3-compatible-backend).
-
-## S3 Location Or Connectivity Fails
-
-Symptom: `NoSuchBucket`, `InvalidBucketName`, `not_found`, endpoint connection failures, or TLS/network errors.
-
-Likely cause: endpoint, bucket, prefix, region, path-style mode, network routing, or credentials are wrong for the service.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-go run ./cmd/distributor run --config <config-path> --dry-run
-curl -I <endpoint>
-```
-
-Safe fix: verify `endpoint`, `bucket`, `region`, `prefix`, and `force_path_style`. For S3-compatible services, keep `force_path_style: true` unless the service requires virtual-host addressing. Distributor does not provide an insecure TLS bypass setting.
-
-Reference: [Operations](operations.md#s3-compatible-storage).
-
-## HTTP Server Cannot Bind
-
-Symptom: `bind HTTP server ... address already in use`.
-
-Likely cause: another process is listening on `server.http.bind`.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-ss -ltnp | rg '<port>'
-```
-
-Safe fix: stop the conflicting process or configure a different bind address.
-
-Reference: [Configuration](config.md#serverhttp).
-
-## HTTP Upload Token Is Missing Or Duplicated
-
-Symptom: `upload token environment variable ... is not set`, `... is empty`, or `upload token environment variables ... resolve to the same value`.
-
-Likely cause: a top-level upload token record references a missing or empty `token_env`, or two token records resolve to the same bearer token.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-rg -n 'token_env:' <config-path>
-env | cut -d= -f1 | rg '^<token-variable>$'
-ls -l <secrets-directory>/<token-variable>
-```
-
-Safe fix: provide one distinct non-empty token value per upload token record through the process environment or `secrets.directory`. Do not put literal tokens in YAML.
-
-Reference: [Configuration](config.md#upload_tokens).
-
-## Upload Request Is Unauthorized
-
-Symptom: `POST /v1/pipelines/<pipeline-id>/upload` returns `401`.
-
-Likely cause: the request lacks `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, has an empty token, or uses a token that does not match any configured upload token record.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-curl -i -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/pipelines/<pipeline-id>/upload \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DISTRIBUTOR_UPLOAD_TOKEN" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/x-tar" \
-  --data-binary @bundle.tar
-```
-
-Safe fix: use the token value resolved by the configured `token_env`. Do not include token values in logs or tickets.
-
-Reference: [Operations](operations.md#http-upload-operation).
-
-## Upload Request Is Forbidden
-
-Symptom: `POST /v1/pipelines/<pipeline-id>/upload` returns `403`.
-
-Likely cause: the bearer token is valid, but its configured `allow_pipelines` list does not include the requested upload pipeline.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-rg -n 'upload_tokens:|allow_pipelines:|id:' <config-path>
-```
-
-Safe fix: request the intended pipeline id, or update the token allowlist to include the configured `http_upload` pipeline that this producer may submit to.
-
-Reference: [Configuration](config.md#upload_tokens).
-
-## Upload Request Is Rejected Before A Run ID
-
-Symptom: `POST /v1/pipelines/<pipeline-id>/upload` returns `400`, `413`, `415`, or `503`.
-
-Likely cause: the request path has an invalid pipeline id, included a `pipeline` or `pipeline_id` query, archive content is malformed, the body exceeds size limits, content type is unsupported, or the in-memory upload queue is full.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-tar -tf bundle.tar
-tar -tzf bundle.tar.gz
-rg -n 'max_upload_size|queue_size|max_concurrency' <config-path>
-```
-
-Safe fix: send one valid tar or tar.gz source bundle archive to `/v1/pipelines/<pipeline-id>/upload` with `Content-Type: application/x-tar`, `application/gzip`, or `application/x-gzip`; remove pipeline query parameters; reduce archive size or raise the configured limit; retry after queue pressure drops.
-
-Reference: [Operations](operations.md#http-upload-operation).
-
-## Upload Idempotency Conflict
-
-Symptom: `POST /v1/pipelines/<pipeline-id>/upload` returns `409`.
-
-Likely cause: the request reused an `Idempotency-Key` for the same token id and pipeline id with a different source manifest, or another request with the same key is still being staged before its manifest is known.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-curl -i -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/pipelines/<pipeline-id>/upload \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DISTRIBUTOR_UPLOAD_TOKEN" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/gzip" \
-  -H "Idempotency-Key: <key>" \
-  --data-binary @bundle.tar.gz
-```
-
-Safe fix: if the response includes `"retryable":true`, retry the same upload later with the same key. Otherwise, inspect the producer operation and use the same key only for the same source bundle.
-
-Reference: [HTTP Upload API Contract](integrations/http-upload.md).
-
-## Upload Status Is Missing
-
-Symptom: `GET /runs/<run_id>` returns `404`.
-
-Likely cause: the run id is wrong, the process restarted, or the retained status record expired after `server.http.retention`.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-curl -i http://127.0.0.1:8080/runs/<run-id>
-rg -n 'retention:' <config-path>
-```
-
-Safe fix: use the exact `run_id` returned by upload admission. Increase retention if operators need a longer status window.
-
