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• Do not publish without explicit human confirmation in the current conversation.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
