Workflow Publication Endpoint

Summary

One native operation publishes the current draft of a tenant-visible definition. Its authoritative method and route are in the endpoint catalog.

Processing

The command requires tenant context, loads the full definition graph, and invokes aggregate publication. A current draft with at least one step is required. The response is the reloaded full definition DTO.

Results

Missing definitions produce not-found. Missing or empty drafts produce validation failures. Successful publication returns the definition with updated status and published-version number.

Security

The route has no backend authorization requirement, so verified publication access control is Not implemented.

Requires Confirmation

Publishing permissions, approval of authored changes and concurrency between update/publication require confirmation.
