description	Publish checklist for OpenBlog content via Git PR workflow. Use when a post is ready to merge and deploy.

Publish

OpenBlog publishes through Git merge → CI build → CDN. There is no CMS Publish button.

Checklist

1. npm run validate:posts — green
2. npm run build — green
3. Preview deploy reviewed (metadata, OG, mobile layout)
4. PR description lists new/changed slugs
5. Merge to main

After merge

• Static HTML regenerates for all slugs
• Sitemap and RSS update at /blog/sitemap.xml and /blog/rss.xml
• Draft posts stay excluded until draft: false

Host-site handoff (optional)

Search indexing for the main product site (Google Search Console, IndexNow, Bing Webmaster) is the host site's responsibility — not OpenBlog's publish workflow. After deploy, the product team may submit changed blog URLs through their existing search-console or IndexNow integration if they maintain one.
