A successful publish response conflicts with what the production site still serves.
Fast confirmation protects editor momentum, while waiting for durable publication state protects trust in the live site.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I published the legal copy twice because the live page kept showing yesterday’s version.”

What is at stake
A confirmed publish can leave the old collection item visible on the live site. You have to weigh editor speed against a confirmation that users can trust.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- editor speed vs. truthful confirmation
- Kafka throughput vs. durable publication state
- compatible APIs vs. clearer publish semantics
- fast mitigation vs. end-to-end reliability
