 Mutable default and override partitions receive their final cache policy before
 the matching prefix-scoped stale deletion, so publication never exposes a
 provisional cache policy or a pointer to a missing immutable target.
+Generated Ingress annotations and `site-publish-history.yaml` retain every
+seen bucket's access, prior route, and cumulative bucket-relative immutable key
+prefixes, including while an artifact is absent. Removed or renamed rules stay
+recorded. When a move places a retired prefix inside the new sync scope, its
+immutable subtrees are excluded; a current-file collision fails publication.
+The bucket-keyed history rejects a protected-to-public transition even when the
+artifact is renamed; publishing that artifact publicly requires a new bucket.
+Legacy single-surface is public for this downgrade check. Removing or renaming
+an immutable rule preserves its prior URLs; current mutable content at one of
+those paths is rejected instead of replacing it.
 
 Artifact input directories must be pairwise disjoint after filesystem
 resolution. Publication stops before build or upload if one contains another or
-escapes the repository. Descendant symlinks are also rejected, preventing
+escapes the repository. Symlinked roots, components, and descendants are also rejected, preventing
 protected input from entering a public artifact through dereference. Split
 storage endpoints are pinned to Garage, and each website
 authority is derived from its bucket; a site cannot expose an arbitrary backend.
