# Publish Safety

Publishing is the highest-risk action in this skill. Treat it as a gated operation.

## Mandatory Safety Rules

- Do not publish without explicit human confirmation in the current conversation.
- Do not assume `publish: true` in an old request still reflects the user’s latest intent.
- Do not treat a successful click as proof of publication.

## What Must Be Verified

At least one of these post-publish checks should succeed:

- the final URL is a published Zhihu article URL
- the visible page title matches the requested article title

If both checks fail, report the run as unconfirmed.

## Failure Cases

### Title verification fails

- Stop.
- Report the expected title and the observed title.
- Do not claim the article was published correctly.

### URL remains in edit mode

- Treat the result as draft or unconfirmed publish.
- Report that the browser stayed on an editor-style URL.
- Ask for manual review before any retry.

### Publish dialog does not appear

- Do not retry blindly on generic primary buttons.
- Report that the dialog selector failed.
- Revalidate selectors and page state first.

## Brittle Selectors To Revalidate First

- `div.css-1q62b6s > div.css-byu4by`
- `textarea[placeholder='请输入标题（最多 100 个字）']`
- `button.Button--primary.Button--blue`
- `div[role='dialog'] button.Button--primary.Button--blue`
- `h1`

These are usable as source references, but not trustworthy forever.
