Your Staging Path Fails Silent When Handoff Breaks

The publication handoff moves the finalized article bundle into the consumer's article tree. This fixture verifies the staging path end to end.

Byte identity, idempotent upserts, extraneous-file pruning, and a notebook refusal rule keep the consumer tree consistent with the source.

The generated index href must carry a single /articles prefix under the consumer's own route mapping, so the eleventy stream resolver finds the file.

After hydration and validation, the pull-request stage opens a branch with the stage commits so a human reviews the staged article.
