+### Publishing a subset of artifacts
+
+A repository whose branches ship on different cadences names the ones this run
+owns:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: https://code.fritzlab.net/action/site-publish@<sha>
+  with:
+    token: ${{ secrets.CI_BOT_TOKEN }}
+    artifacts: catalogue
+```
+
+Selection scopes the build and the S3 publication only. Ingresses, Services,
+Certificates and the immutable-path history are always rendered from the whole
+`site.yaml`, so a scoped run cannot retire another artifact's route or delete
+its bucket contents. Credentials are resolved for the selected artifacts alone,
+so a workflow need not carry secrets for artifacts it does not publish.
+
+What a scoped run may **not** do is move an artifact it is not publishing. The
+generated route contract in `site-publish-history.yaml` is written from the
+whole `site.yaml`, and `access` there is a replacement rather than a union — so
+recording a change nothing published would turn intent into a fact that
+`validate_route_migrations` then refuses to undo. A run whose `site.yaml`
+changes an unselected artifact's route path, access or artifact name is refused
+before the first bucket is touched, naming both contracts: publish that artifact
+in the same run. For the same reason a scoped run cannot introduce an artifact
+that has no published history yet.
+
+Two more refusals, both before any bucket changes: an undeclared name, and
+`enabled: false` with a selection, because decommissioning is whole-site.
+
+One consequence to know: CORS reconciliation is scoped too, since a scoped run
+holds no credential for the other bucket. A `cors_origins:` change lands with
+that artifact's next publish, not on the merge that edits `site.yaml`.
+
 ## Tools
 
 - **`new-site.sh`** — create a new site: Gitea repo, Garage bucket, web hosting enabled.
