# Publish
## Purpose
`internal/publish` plans and executes publication for one validated source bundle and one destination.
## Inputs and outputs
Inputs are a source bundle, source backend, destination backend, pipeline id, destination id, publish policy, transform policy, transformer resolver, transfer policy, destination bundle path, and existing destination state.
Output is a plan with an action, reason, and selected source or generated outputs. Execution writes selected source files, generated files, and `.distributor.json` for publish or replacement actions.
## Actions
Supported actions are publish new, replace older destination, skip same source, skip newer destination, fail conflict, and fail unmanaged destination.
## Boundaries
The current implementation publishes source files and Markdown-to-HTML sidecar outputs. Remote backend execution is not implemented.
The package uses `internal/state` for destination comparison, `internal/storage` for IO, and the shared `internal/config` publish/transform policy helper for request validation. It resolves transforms through a narrow resolver supplied by the caller; concrete transform registration is owned by the app layer. It does not parse CLI flags or load config files.
## Safety
Replacement deletes only outputs recorded in existing destination state plus `.distributor.json`. Failed local writes trigger cleanup of outputs written during the failed attempt.
## Tests
Before changing publish behavior, inspect tests under `internal/publish` and local run tests under `internal/app`.
