Publish approved article

Publishes the current revision only when reviewStatus is approved and approvedRevisionNumber equals revisionNumber. It clears any pending schedule and requests configured publication hooks.

Outcome

Publishes the current revision only when reviewStatus is approved and approvedRevisionNumber equals revisionNumber. It clears any pending schedule and requests configured publication hooks. Editing after approval clears approval; this call refuses that edited revision until it is reviewed and approved again. The fixture does not prove notification delivery or public provider reachability.

Before you start

Verify identity and the intended environment with topolo whoami before selecting an explicitly authorized organization.
Discover the published workspace:write permission.
Discover an accessible Blog workspace and set WORKSPACE_ID to that exact returned id. Pass workspace binding separately from action input.
Review the actual state change and confirm the unchanged plan before execution. Fixture ids and provider responses grant no live authority.

Discover the target

topolo whoami --json
topolo actions get app_topolo_blog.articles.publish --detail --json

Worked examples

Documentation source snapshot: TopoloBlog 80d6961207a4ca688b7e9edb947dda720051ad32 (tree 534a285e739a27c1ea9e2c187ce8863824f6c590). The examples retain local fixture captures labeled baseline 2c64c35bf291a47bb3a0c597dcea46ccb47e2a08; their exact executed working tree is not established here. They were not rerun at this documentation snapshot. The production catalog marker topolo.app.json is not a deployed worker revision. Recovery metadata read-back on 18 October 2026 associates the current production Blog API and web deployments with this source through the 17 October release receipt. This establishes applicable deployed source; it does not make these examples current production captures.

Actual exported Blog Worker, local Miniflare D1/R2 and all committed migrations. Auth, Insights, DNS, Cloudflare for SaaS, error reporting, queue and scheduled-workflow boundaries are synthetic and outbound fetch is sealed. No deployed provider, delivery or scheduled execution outcome is established. English examples use the packaged test translation release; article checks and widget labels follow the verified request locale. No live translation release is proved by this fixture.

Save a reviewed input as payload.json. Replace fixture identifiers using discovery in the authorized context.

topolo actions validate app_topolo_blog.articles.publish --data @payload.json --json
topolo actions plan app_topolo_blog.articles.publish --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --confirm --json
topolo actions call app_topolo_blog.articles.publish --resource-type workspace --resource-id "$WORKSPACE_ID" --data @payload.json --confirm --detail --json

MCP uses the same reviewed input. Replace the synthetic workspace resourceId through discovery when a binding is shown:

Source-reviewed illustration (retained local fixture response; not a current production capture):

{
  "error": "Authentication token required"
}

Sign in again in the intended environment using a valid credential. Preserve the returned handler message; SDK auth_error can represent several authentication refusals.

Verify the result

Fetch the article's public URL and confirm the published revision is the approved one.

Errors and recovery

HTTP 400 · article_not_approved: Read the error field and reconcile the article workflow state or payload before retrying. Do not blindly publish an unapproved revision.
HTTP 401 · auth_error: Sign in again in the intended environment using a valid credential. Preserve the returned handler message; SDK auth_error can represent several authentication refusals.

Inspect the raw handler error as well as the SDK code. These examples establish observed local refusals, not every possible provider failure.

Recovery boundary

Unpublish to remove it from public delivery. Anything already fetched or syndicated is out of your hands.

Unpublish article (app_topolo_blog.articles.unpublish): Remove the currently published revision from public delivery while retaining editorial history.

Evidence

Documentation history

18 October 2026: Architecture reviewed the retained action guide against the pinned source declaration and named implementation boundaries, qualified local-capture provenance, and prepared paired human and agent amendments. This review does not record a product release, new fixture execution or publication.

2026-10-18: Related guides that cannot yet be published target-first are listed as exact related action references. Captured requests, responses and schemas are unchanged.

2026-10-18: Architecture accepted the paired coauthor delta and qualified the current 80D deployment association from existing Recovery evidence. Examples remain source-reviewed retained-fixture illustrations; no new execution or guide publication is recorded.
