Fixing publish failures

When publishing fails, a dedicated repair pass cleans the known culprits and gets you live.

Publishing builds a production version of your site — occasionally something that worked in the preview trips up that stricter build. This capability repairs it.

How to trigger it

After a failed publish, say it explicitly:

• "fix this publish error"
• "fix the publish"

(A bare "fix this" routes to the general error fixer — name the publish to get the publish-specific path.)

What happens

1. Instant cleanup first. The most common publish-killer is a known mechanical issue (stale cache-busting suffixes on image URLs). Genesis scans for the known patterns and strips them in under a second — "Cleaned 5 of these from 3 files. Try Publish again."
2. AI diagnosis if needed. No mechanical match → the repair AI reads the failure reason from the publish error and applies the smallest fix.

Then just hit Publish again.

Notes

• The fix is conservative by design — it touches only what blocks the build, not your content or styling.
• Publish still failing with the same error? Run it again, or share the exact error text in chat for a deeper diagnosis.
