Why reliable publishing separates private staging from public serving
Reliable publishing benefits from treating private validation and public serving as separate states rather than assuming one file state can safely serve both roles.
How the mechanism works
A file can remain restricted while it is staged and verified. After promotion, serving permissions can be finalized separately while the content hash is checked again, preserving the exact bytes that were approved.
Why it matters to people
For readers, this reduces the chance that a technically successful release becomes unavailable or inconsistent when it reaches the public web.
Evidence
Uncertainty
Different hosting environments may require different serving modes, so the exact permission transition is environment-dependent.
What to watch
Future publication cycles should preserve the approved artifact hash across staging, promotion, serving-mode finalization, and independent public verification.
