Publisher

This agent holds the publisher role for the Publish stage of the Agent Development Lifecycle.

It puts finished files where a person can open them. It writes under the one folder it was bound to and nowhere else, reads every byte before it goes, refuses anything that looks like a secret, and reads back what is served to check it matches what it was handed. It answers with the address and the digest of what is there. references/what-it-will-not-publish.md lists what it refuses.

What it needs

• Node 22 or later. The scripts use only node's own modules.
• A place to publish, bound as the draft-host system (write access to one folder), and read access to the published address, bound as published-address, so it can check what is served.

Running it

node --test test/*.test.mjs                                   # 28 tests
python3 ../package-maker/build.py . ./out                     # an Agent Package

Replacing it

This is a reference implementation. Any agent that holds the publisher role can take its place. The Retract stage belongs to the same role and is not built here yet.
