Publishing And Editorial

Choose one primary mode and read only its workflow. Add modes only for distinct editorial stages or artifacts the request explicitly includes.

Resolve each link relative to the file containing it. Workflow links to ../artifacts/ refer to this package’s references/artifacts/ directory.

Do not fabricate evidence, authorship, rights clearance, or approval.
